Naugerhide repair

Received an e mail asking how to repair naugerhide leather. Here is a video response front page on

Naugerhide?
Isn't that politically incorrect?

Great Video - I was glued to the screen, because tonight my dog poked a toenail hole in the wife's Volvo V70 console lid.

However Hector's Shop - a close up photo of the finished repair, would of been most appreciated.

1st Naugahyde is a brand name for vinyl not leather

2nd I've been in the upholstery business since 1972 and while I know that new techniques come around all the time, I've never found a way to repair vinyl that was acceptable to me.

Cool video.

I was thinking of setting myself up as a nauga rancher after retirement. I've got to do some more reading on breeding and raising naugas for the upholstery industry.

I actually "thought" I was recording a close up but 2nd cam was not rec. my fault.
However, just as mtwaterguy mentioned vinyl repair is really not an "attractive" repair. It does keep the tear from getting bigger though. Especially being a bright color, darker color vinyl might hide the ugliness a little lol.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments!
