cat scratch leather repair Miami Claw Marks Are Lifted Grain
A cat does not cut leather so much as pick the surface up. The grain has to go back down before any colour is put on.
What The Job Actually Is
Every cat scratch leather repair Miami booking turns on one thing: claw damage. Everything below follows from that.
Claw marks run in parallel sets down a corner or an arm.
Most scratching lifts the finish without reaching the backing.
Pigment over raised fibres looks worse than the scratches did.
Where It Works, Where It Stops
We would rather say no on the phone than take a piece we cannot put right. These are the honest edges of the job.
Lifted grain on sound hide is the ideal case.
The spots cats return to, rebuilt and resealed.
Hundreds of deep passes leave nothing to lay back down.
Stitched edges that have been bitten through are replaced.
