Thread: Aberdeen imported Scotch Shell strop

Lots were impregnated with wax for some reason. It gets grungy and holds mold and crud.
I have boiled them several times, changing the water to get it out. Some oxyclean boils after the wax seems to be out.
They come out quite clean after a while. Even a bit of bleach in the boiling water helps.
Just roll it up in a saucepan.....Don't use the good pan! Then, you can steam iron it after it dries if you like.

Oh, it usually takes the printing off or fades it.
