I just repaired a small 1", v shaped rip in a leather seat, caused by a dog jumping up into our truck. I tucked a small, thin piece of fabric under the rip to provide some support & used Loctite Go2 glue. It stays slightly flexible, but secured the rip with a solid bond that I could not separate. I first took a piece of scrap leather & created am identical rip & tested the glue & the application process on the scrap piece. It went well. I used a toothpick to apply the glue to the edges of the rip. Some glue got on top of the leather, but I was able to wipe it right off with no residue remaining on top. The rip was still slightly noticeable, but only if you were looking for it. I was surprised at how well the glue worked for this problem. I've used this glue for a lot of different repairs for several years.
