Thread: Making spray out of powder

not speaking from experience here, but what about soap and water?

I´m not sure if soap and water would work. Of course the surfactants in the solution could trap small amounts of particles and create a dispersion.
But I highly doubt this will be easy. I wouldn´t recommend Oil or Acrylic paint either, these tend to get very hard and in my opinion ruin the surface of the strop.

I have two different ways of pasting a strop depending on the material used.
If it is leather I avoid alcohol and mix a drop of oil with a pinch of powder and apply it with a brush. No real mess here.
If it´s not leather oil can clogg the surface. I avoid oil for felt and linen. Here I prefer alcohol.

Ask a pharmacist, preferably one who has specially trained in compounding. Compounding is close to magic... they know all sorts of tricks to get nonsoluble particles to suspend nicely in different media. I'll ask my wife (who's a pharmacist) about this. I probably won't have an answer to post until tomorrow, because she's working a long day.

Spraying CrOx, Wouldn't the cause all sorts of mess?

I use the brush method and that works well

I have tried mixing diamond powders with isopropyl alcohol and water and it sorta worked.
Anyway, This is the thread but its probably no good for CrOx http://straightrazorpalace.com/strop...r-0-1-2-m.html
