Leather with stains caused by adhesive migration – glue migration
Glue migration occurs in various leather objects. Sometimes seams are pre-fixed during the production process by gluing, or foam parts are glued to leather or imitation leather. Unsuitable adhesives or adhesives that are applied too thickly migrate through the leather over time and cause dark spots on the top. This penetrating adhesive can not be "cleaned". The stains are not on, but in the material. Objects that are affected by this problem can then seldom be saved by repaires.

Glue migration in pockets of a coat made of nubuck.
Glue migration in chairs, in a handbag and in leather furniture made of buffalo leather.
Glue migration in leather boots.
Glue migration in Mercedes S350.
Glue migration in sun visors of a Mercedes.
To avoid such damage, appropriate adhesives must be selected, and these should not be applied too thickly. Apply thinly, dry and then glue under pressure.
Repairing adhesive migration in the leather workshop by colouring
Professional leather repair shops can remove such stains. First, the stains have to be covered with COLOURLOCK Blocker. The blocker prevents the passing of the stain through the new applied leather colour. As the stains migrate through the leather, they can also migrate through pigment based leather colours and become visible again. Thick colour layers make the leather plastic-like. With thin layers, the leather retains a natural grip.
First protect with blocker and then adjust the surface to the rest with COLOURLOCK Leather Colour.
