Leather glossary: Leder Schutzschicht
Leder Schutzschicht
This term describes an important aspect of leather care or repair. Identify the leather type, surface finish and extent of damage before starting.
For coated smooth leather, a typical sequence is cleaning, degreasing, filling small defects if necessary, applying thin colour coats and sealing after drying. Always test a hidden area first.
Absorbent leather requires different products. Deep tears and damaged seams need professional attention.
