Sail cloth is a bit better than Nylon / poly webbing.
I prefer a hanging strop, I think they are more forgiving and will produce a slight convex bevel, stronger as opposed to a flat bevel.
If you want an inexpensive paddle, paste a 3in piece of foam core board.
First check you edge for damage, also use the purest paste you can find.
For powdered Oxides, I like Kremer Pigments.
If there is no damage strop on Linen or just plain leather as 10pups said, but I would bet there is some damage to the edge.
