Hi there,
I have some cracks in one of my vinyl recliners. I would like to fix this before they turn into tears. I have googled vinyl repair kits, but was hoping someone who has done the same, can recommend a product that works!
Thank you,
Narelle
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Relle. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about preventing a tear in a vinyl recliner.
Like leather lounges, vinyl must be nourished to prevent it from drying out and cracking. Products like Glitz 168g Leather Conditioner can be used for this purpose. However, we've progressed past the point of protection, and the vinyl is now peeling away from the fabric base material. At this stage, it might be best to either use a specific dye or black shoe polish to darken the underlying fabric. You can then apply the conditioner to nourish the area.
You might like to read through this discussion as it could provide some leads: Leather lounge repair job.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
