We need some Aniline-76 dye and Micro-54 dye to restore this sectional sofa. We used Aniline dye and then some pigment back in 2011 and had an excellent result but it has faded again.

>>> We used Aniline dye and then some pigment back in 2011

Exactly what products were used?

Found original pictures, sofa was very faded and very soiled. Not sure how helpful these are, other than I know we pigmented the leather and the back cushions still have pigment on them.

It looks overstretched - do you remember using Impregnator-26?

No impregnator in 2011 we were using mostly Leather Solutions products.

Sample received is "Aniline" gloss finish.

Order is for Micro-54 - quart only, do you need Aniline-76 as well?

We are having a hard time getting rid of this ring. Steve is downloading the picture. I'm sure it was the cushion in the original picture 6-8B. The worn area has been thoroughly cleaned, Hydrated and fatliquored many times over a week. The cushion is removable (zipper).

8-24A These water rings looked much worse last week. I think they will be ok to cover with Micro-54 now. We hydrated and used the razor many times while allowing it to air dry. The worn area on this cushion is very rough and has some cracks. I'm going to use Impregnator to strengthen it and then fill with glue and color mixture.

If they are not oil or grease based then it should be OK to cover with Micro-54.

Soften it up with Fatliquor-5.0 making it supple before repair will have less of a cracking issue.

We were fatliquoring the entire worn area while we were hydrating the rings. So I think we are good to go and will be filling the problem areas.

Test the suppleness of the leather out by flexing it.

Only start repairing when softness is satisfied - stiff leather will crack and soft leather will not crack.
