Thread: What to mix with powder to make a good paste?

I have read the sticky on pasting a strop, but it is from 2008. Just wondering if a few people have come up with a different, or better solution?

I received some paste, and powdered Cr2O, and Fe2O3 recently.

The pasted Cr2O is 0.5 micron, the powdered is 0.3 micron, and I want to make some good long lasting paste with the smaller 0.3 Cr2O to apply to a cotton strop.

I have plenty of mineral oil, I use for my cutting boards, but wasn’t sure if it was the best thing to use.

As always, help, and suggestions are always appreciated.
