I just rec'd a bottle of chromium oxide spray from SRD. For whatever reason the sprayer won't work. The chromium appears to be suspended in water. How would you suggest me applying the liquid to a hanging linen strop. I poured some into a shallow dish and it seems that it's very watery even after I vigorously shake the bottle. The directions say to spray evenly to achieve coverage????? It also says not to saturate. Anyone have experience with this form of chromium oxide.
