Thanks Justin,
Some of this stuff comes in powder form (Glen has his in solution of sort, it seems).
My questions:
1) How do you apply this on the felt? Do you mix with something (water, I presume...since oil will not be a good idea on felt) and then apply evenly to felt?
2) Before/after which routine/progression do you use CeOx (0.5µ CrOx, 0.5µ Dia spray felt or else)?
I've found slightly soapy water works well to apply/disperse it on both leather and felt.
Cerium would be the finest and last compound you'd use of those listed, ie diamond, chromium, then cerium.
Remember to clean the blade well between stages if using multiple compounds to avoid cross-contamination.
