that's exactly what i've done. sandpaper, rub the particles off with your hands, rub in a little neatsfoot, your ok. get the real neatsfoot off srd and not the silicone additive stuff.

Do you sand the entire strop or just the nicked spots?
Irecently discovered that the grip I was using to strop was wrong and now I am trying to learn proper technique. During this relearning phase, I have also put a few nicks along the edge in the area where I change direction.
I have used a fine grit sandpaper and neatsfoot oil and it works great on minor blemishes.
When I did a search on strop repairs on SRP, which is were I first read about using sandpaper. I the posts were talking about repairs using glue before using sandpaper.I assume they were using glue to repair cuts or slices. Does anyone know what kind of glue is recommended?
I'm sure that more knowledgable members will comment, but I just sanded the areas where I nicked my strop. When you're done sanding your strop it will have a "vintage" look. And Zib is dead on about slowing down and paying attention when stropping, because as soon as I started doing that, the nicking of my strop ceased.
Contact cement. It's explained here in the Wiki.
No, it's not dead yet....

Dunno if this was right or wrong but I noticed in baseball glove conditioner there's lanolin and I was thinking... now what else do I have with lanolin? So I rubber some MWF into my slice and nick and it seems to help. Not a real strop expert though so maybe someone will set me straight as to whether this was good/bad.
Does rubbing with pumice not leave irregularities on the surface of the strop?
