We have a 2015 Honda Odyssey with leather seats. I noticed a cut in the drivers side seat (see picture). I would like to know if there are any suggestions for repairing this. Mostly I want to keep it from spreading or getting worse.
Any of you suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Such repair is done with Bond-3D and smooth with Bond-7A without the need for sanding. This Bond-3D > Bond-7A is without color. Optional color to add to Bond-3D is Micro-54.

Tips
From picture, it looks like there is blue jean dye transfer, and is recommended to be removed prior to repairing the cut with Kit-Ap7.di

Protector-B/B+ helps reduce friction rubs, thus reduces abrasion and cut with a buttery-feel.
Look through the products mentioned and we can discuss further for the cut and care.

Let me know on the above, and thank you again!
>>> Is this a hard thing to do?
If you have done any repairs to wood, or concrete the principle is quite the same, tools may vary. In this case you would need a ball tip tool to compress and smooth out the Bond-3D with Bond-7A.

You may use a bamboo skewers to control and direct the Bond-3D application into the cut and level it as well. To smooth it, any metal tool other then a pottery working ball tip tool may do the work of smoothening as well.

Yes correct. A little coloring about 10 - 15% will do, not to compromise the strength and on the top application would be ideal.
>>> Should I buy the stuff from you and have an experienced person do this or do you think it is somewhat simple?
If you have done other repair works on other material, you just need to understand how these 2 products works by doing a test prior to the actual application. And decide from there if you need an experience person.
>>> Also, how would I get the color right? Seems like there are many choices.
The blue dye transfer stain from your blue jeans need to be 100% removed, otherwise you will not get the color matching correct.
