I have searched the forums for an answer to this question mainly because JoshEarl's great picture tutorial about creating a pasted strop mentions that "it's best to avoid trying to paste latigo".

I have a TM latigo practice strop that is not getting much use anymore so I thought I'd put it back in service unless there is a good reason not to. So... what are the disadvantage of putting chromium oxide on a latigo strop?

Thanks,
Ray
