Instructions

The thick repair compound Heavy Filler EXPERT LINE belongs to the professional materials, work with it requires observance of certain technology of application, as well as understanding of properties of this product.

Our LeTech ACADEMY-LeCademy+ trains you in the correct use of our professional care and restoration products, and supports you in the application process.

APPLICATION OF THE REPAIR COMPOUND

If you are repairing a through hole, reinforce it from the inside using a reinforcing pad and Leather Glue WB polyurethane adhesive.

After reinforcing the hole, fill the hole evenly with repair compound and allow to dry completely. To speed up this process, it is recommended to use a household hair dryer. As the Heavy Filler repair compound is water based, it may sink in slightly during the drying process and therefore an additional application of the repair compound may be necessary until the thick repair compound is flush with the surface after it has dried completely.

We recommend sanding the final coat with emery paper to remove any small irregularities or imperfections in application.

The Light Filler can be tinted to the desired colour by adding up to 10% of the desired leather paint.

Once the repair compound has been applied, you may proceed to painting and finishing.

Caution. Always keep the container with lid tightly closed to avoid curing.

PAINT APPLICATION

Shake the paint thoroughly before application. In order to obtain a surface with the highest decorative qualities, it is recommended to apply the paint in even, thin coats by spraying with an airbrush or airbrush.

Pneumatic spraying with airbrush or airbrush gun. Can be diluted with distilled water. Nozzle diameter: 0.5 to 1.2 mm. Pressure: 1.1-8 bar (depending on airbrush or spray gun model). Compressed air must be free from water and oil. Paint must be thoroughly mixed and passed through a 190 micron filter before application.

Application with sponge, brush or roller: The optimum viscosity allows application by hand, touching up minor spots on the leather, creating a base coat for further treatment of the leather or restoring the colour.

TOPCOAT APPLICATION

After painting, it is advisable to protect the leather surface with LeTech Leather Top Coat and 5-10% Cross Linker X polyurethane fixative.

LeTech Leather Top Coat enhances the abrasion and durability of the leather finish. With the LeTech EXPERT LINE range of protective coatings, you can choose from a variety of matt or gloss finishes to give your leather the touch and feel you want from our range of unique protective coat additives:

1. Leather Slip Additive
2. a Leather Wax-Effect Additive for tactile modification
3. Leather X-GUARD Leather X-GUARD Additive
4. Leather Casein Additive
5. Leather Thickening Agent

Leather topcoat is applied as a final step, after the leather has been repaired and coloured, to ensure a permanent hold. Leather Thickening Agent is ideally applied by spraying with an airbrush or airbrush gun. This allows you to get an even film and the necessary protective coating characteristics. Avoid applying too much varnish as too thick layers of barrier varnish can discolour the leather and make it harder to handle.

The drying time of Leather Top Coat depends on the temperature and humidity of the environment. Leather Top Co
at can usually be used after 2-3 hours after restoration, but the complete curing and crystallisation process takes 8-12 hours.

It is not recommended to expose the leather to cleaning agents and application of various leather care products in the first week after leather restoration and Leather Top Coat application. A week after restoration, the leather can be used withoutrestrictions.

INSTRUMENT CLEANING

After all coatings have been applied, thoroughly rinse the tools used with water and, if necessary, use LeTech Leather Prep paint remover.

LeTech Leather Heavy Filler EXPERT is a professional product and must be applied correctly, and the properties of the product must be understood.
