Bought Some Magic Stuff

Noooo not the kind I smoke or the kind I eat! I was floating around on You Tube and saw a video of "leather repair" material with strong adhesive on the back.....so of course Amazon sells every thing so I bought a mid sized roll and got it in a day. Instructions said to clean the surface then dry it well then cut a piece a tad over sized. So I did and put a piece over the worn places of the arm rest of the drivers seat of my Chevy HHR.

Used a clean shop cloth to smooth it down, so far it has not loosened a bit in 3 days of 85 degree heat! Seems to work very well I'd say.

So are the 'edges' of the patch in an area where they'll see touching or do they hide underneath?

(Thanks for the books by the way!)

The repair leather is on Amazon, easiest place to order it. The instructions said to make the patch just a very small amount larger than the area to cover and in my case the long edges fit right inro where the seam on both sides is. The two ends wrapped around and I figured it would come loose.....but no still sticking as of this afternoon!
