FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

RepaCuir cracks when a lot of pressure is applied to the leather. Why does this happen?

This may be due to too much product being applied. In this case, you will have to sand it down to make it thicker. Most often this problem is due to abnormal stretching of the leather (leather with broken fibres, degraded foam, therefore soft). You will then have to laminate with a piece of leather (reinforcement), or change the foam so that it is firmer to limit mechanical stress (stretching).
