Apply a thin coat to both surfaces. Let it tack up (about 15 minutes). It will be basically dry to the touch. I usually started in the centerline of the part and marked the centerline on the part and on the material with one of my wife's white fabric pencils. I did all of the parts a small section at a time because when the two surfaces come in contact with one another they really stick together.

The leather will have a stretch in one direction and not so much in the other. Play around with it first on the part dry so you get comfortable fitting it to the part. And leave about 1/4" overlap or slightly more to adhere it to the backside of the part.

Take you time and I'm sure it will turn out great. Good luck!
