Thread: Paddle vs Hanging

In a quest to gain more knowledge I have a question on pasted strops.

I originally was using some .5 CrOx ( green crayon ) that I purchased from SRD and used it on a flax linen back piece of a beater hanging strop and had pretty decent result just doing 5-10 laps after coming off my JNAT finisher.

Well fast forward me reading thru tons of info on the internet ( if you read it on the internet it must be true right? ) anyway I had read where using CrOx on a hanging strop was not recommended as it has a tendency to convex the edge and it's better to use on a paddle so I ordered a paddle strop that the panels can be replaced and currently have the paddle that has a piece of black roughed leather pasted with the same CrOx so with all my rambling which is better in the long run for a pasted strop or does it matter.
