Hey everyone; I'm a total noob in regards to stropping and using paste (as you might have surmised based on my thread title).

I am in the process of acquiring some .5 Chromium Oxide paste and I also just received an awesome-looking Tony Miller synthetic strop, and I want to paste one if its surfaces. So, when I paste it, should I paste the synthetic or the canvas?

I would think the synthetic would be good because I could easily wash it off if I needed to. However, it might be bad because the paste might not embed itself in the synthetic surface and might come off easily.

The canvas would be the opposite. It would stay on nicely but would be much harder to remove if for some reason I wanted to get rid of it.

So does anyone have experience with this? Should I just stick with the tried-and-true canvas or try pasting the synthetic material???
