    Push raised leather around the hole back into the hole with a toothpick if it is raised up, then mix up a small amount of leather repair solution with tint included in the repair kit until the shade matches the chair. Spread a very small amount of the repair solution over the puncture hole with the small spatula from the repair kit, wiping away excess with a damp sponge.


    Claw marks may tear through the leather completely, resulting in a rip that needs a repair. Mix a leather repair solution with an appropriate tint included in the kit. A scrap of fabric, such as an iron-on patch slightly larger than the tear, goes in the hole to help hold the repair. Apply the repair solution over the tear, then set the grain paper over it, grain-side down. Iron the grain paper to transfer the grain's look to the repair. After waiting a few minutes, pull it away to reveal a repair that should be hard to distinguish from the surrounding area.
