    Default Bicast / Bycast Leather, it is started getting rough and sticking to clothing.

    Hi...thank you for the quick response. It is dark brown faux leather. I think bicast / bycast leather. I was told it was leather when I bought it 5 years ago and it was expensive, so I never thought twice about it until recently. The store has since gone out of business, so I can't find out exactly what it is and no tag...but pretty certain it is bycast after looking online.

    My apartment gets hot during the summer when I am at work with lots of direct light and I think the coating couldn't take it. Just recently it started getting really sticky. One section is really rough and sticks to clothes now. I used some leather conditioner and some random cleaners and it just made it worse. I know now that was dumb.

    Hopefully it is fixable! Looking forward to hearing what the solution is.

    The situation is fixable in this sequence of process:

    1] To reduce stickiness use Acidifier-2.0

    2] To remove surface contamination and lint.
    Sequence – Degreaser-2.2 > Rinse-3.0 + Eraser-4 for lint removal + Sanding for smoothness.

    3] Ready to apply Topcoat-66G

    4] Last Coating with add-on Crosslinker to the Topcoat-66G

    Note:
    Color is an option prior to topcoat it.

    Products mentioned is found in this Kit B4.xt


    Leather Doctor® Kit B4.xt = Bicast Leather Care + Degreaser + Acidifier + Top + X’linker
