one- preventing the peeling/ flaking in the first place and
two- fixing the problem areas that have occured
will be beneficial to a lot of us who do not want to fill up landfill. anything tried, tested and recommended.
i have been looking at stuff like car vinyl protection, crafting glues, fabric glues, anything , does not need to be shoe related.
have seen leather repair kits but they seem to come with dyes which i do not need, i suppose just some sort of a flexible sealant, waterproof, clear, i have posted something similar in make do and mend so apologies, but no replies.
think outside of the box.
