I have a tear in my (fake) leather chair.
How do I fix it, /diy/? It looks kinda like this. Even though I have another chair in the garage, I like this one a lot more but it has a fucking tear in it from years of use. I bought some fake leather that looks just like the fake leather on the chair and would just like to glue on a patch.
What kind of glue do I need? I don't care how hacky it looks.. .I just want it to stop falling apart.
Thanks for any guidance!

There are some stuff sold in stores to repair leather/pleather. But that stuff has its limits. What you have there is probably more worn than it looks. You can try glue.. probably won't look too good though. I'd use contact cement. Just be damn careful since when it sticks it's stuck forever... forever......... F O R E V E R

what type of contact cement would you recommend?
also, I came across spray adhesive. are spray adhesives strong enough?
You can get leather repair kits and leather fillers online.
But I have my own way.
I use spray glue to stick a piece of denim to the underside of the torn area. This will prevent further damage and act as a base for the filler.
For filler, I use a type of rubberized assembly glue. I just lay it in the crack until its filled. Then I sand everything smooth.
It comes in a tube and looks/feels more like automotive Gasket Paste than glue.
The one I use is called "Assembly Adhesive" and is sold by Würth.
It has good adhesion and is incredibly resilient.
Its white in color, but using food coloring I have been able to tint it many different shades.
