well I just received my .5 micron and .25 micron sharpening pastes today and applied them to my 2 sided paddle strop

and holy jesus it looks ugly. I thought I watched lynn's video several times and read the instructions from thewellshavedgentleman but this just doesn't look right. Is it possible that I just destroyed my strop or is there a way for me to recover from this?

any help would be greatly appreciated
