hiya , gliptone have other products for torn leather ie, flexible gauze which will be glued behind the tear in the leather to bond the tear together, the glue is also strong and heat resistent, then you would apply the leather filler (or liquid filler) on the surface and smooth off and dry with hairdryer and if still noticeable you can re-grain the filler so this matches the leather then gliptone can supply you with the leather pigment (colour) to touch in the repair.
hope this helps.  :smiley:
