I hope I don't have to do it again though. But it was a great tip and I'll add it to my journal for future reference.

Ya know, there are days where I just don't seem to read things properly. I suppose it should have been clear but it wasn't at that time.:o

Ed,

I got the contact cement and worked on the strop. It worked quite well except for just the very edge of the strop which still has a small divot. It's working just fine though as the only part...

Ed, thanks for the instructions. Where do I get contact cement?

Any psychological damage done can be corrected by my adoring wife, the psychologist.

BTW - what do you mean by 'fixed' strop? I'm using a hanging strop.

I am going to give myself 30 lashes with the strop as a penance

I think that's a good point about the gluing. As to the pumice, will the drug store variety do or is there a "special" pumice for leather?

Thanks James,

I've seen those stones in drug stores. I didn't know if they were the same thing needed for the strop (grit size differences so to speak).
I'll pick one up tonight.

Oohh, that's the problem. I was doing it backwards :p

I just put a nice slice into my strop. It's a deep cut going into the center of the thickness of the strop, about 1/4 inch long and produced a flap.

I'm not sure how to fix this so the strop is...
