I have a few holes starting to form. I'd like to catch them before they spread too bad.

Is there anything I can do on the underside to at least jsut get them to where it won't spread for the time being until I can make a decision on how I want to repair it fully?

Also, what sort of "moisturizers" would work to keep it from being dry and cracking?

 

fishing brained line stitches, make sure is black. very tought
