Thread: Tape while honing...tape on CroX?

All,

Just curious. If you used a single line of tape through your hone progression, do you need to keep the tape on for your final CroX finish or when you go back to touch up?

Seems like if you don't you're missing the max benefit on the edge no?

If the CrOx was on Balsa I MIGHT put tape on, but otherwise the surface will have more than enough flex.. I don't use Balsa however, so my answer would be No

Thanks Glen. My CroX is on balsa and the balsa is on a hardwood block

What does CroX mean?

Chromium Oxide

Is CroX abrasive enough to burnish a satin finished spine to a polished finish?

Yes over time, it sure will, BUT I wouldn't think you would be using a CrOx strop that often
