How do I fix rips in "Pleather" chair arms??
I have a pleather recliner that has puffy pleather on the ends of the arms. As we have used it more and more, crack have appeared where the pleather is folded to fit the arm end. I thought about making "arm covers" sort of like the old fashioned ones with a modern printed fabric, but that won't help the front of the arms where it has also cracked. The chair is basic brown.

I want to keep this repair cheap. I would rather not reupholster it... I just want something to make it look a little better and help it not rip anymore! Any ideas??
The cheapest way is go to the dollar general store and get pure baby oil. This is the best oil to use for maintaining and preventing cracks on your faux leather. I wouldn't use it where you will sit and get it on nice clothes. I have old leather sofas for 8 years now and have used olive oils and mayonaise, for small spots. For covering the whole couch, I bought a tub of coconut from Amazon comes in a tub like lard. This does not stain my clothes. It can be used for cooking seafood to adding it to the dogs bowl to prevent parasites and keep thier fur coats shining, it is an amazing product. Get a cotton cloth and smear it all over it will keep any future discoloring or cracks.
Hello. I can think of two possible options to offer.
You might consider leather/vinyl repair kit. Commonly found in automotive sections. You will be supplied with several colors in tiny pots to custom mix your patch and sample textures to stamp over your repair to match your appearance of defective project.
Im not sure the degree of restoration, could touch up paint work? That what my son did on his sofa with this product.
You need to check over reviews Q&A and see if your correct color is available. Hope this helps.
