Thread: Paste recommendations for canvas side of hanging strop?

When I can find one brilliant post on here a day it brightens up the whole week. For this week this one is it:

My TM strop linen I just worked it hard with a pumice stone and thick lather repeatedly till "flatter" and it works a treat now. Cost nothing to do as well
You don't have to do anything to the linen I must point out, though buffing with a pumice stone evens the surface well on a TM strop.

Is that a good thing or bad, I'm thinking I should take it possitive but

Puff,
I'm hoping it was a good thing too <g>.
