Tony, I tried boiling my strop in an ammonia solution for 30 minutes, thinking that might help, but now the leather is green and curling and the paddle is falling apart... Would your warantee cover this?

I ended up cleaning it with a thick saddle soap lather and toothbrush. I can tell there's some paste residue still on it, but I'm going to try using it for regular stropping and see how it goes.

Thanks for all the suggestions,
Josh
