| English term or phrase: shows an outline or ridge | REPAIRING CUTS
Although resistant to most punctures and tears, there may be rare
occasions when xxx® grains are cut or bruised through abuse or an
accident. Because of the high tear strength of xxx® products, the cuts
don’t tend to spread but can be difficult to repair. Tape inserted behind
the cover to hold the thin material in place and close the cut will show as
an outline or ridge, known as " x-raying.”
Leather repair experts can remedy the problem if the cut or bruise has not
penetrated the nylon microfiber. They can be found on the Internet and or
through a referral from a leather upholsterer. They will apply waxes and
other coatings to match the color, grain, and gloss of damaged xxx®
products. |
