Thread: Dovo White Paste and SRD Webbing

Ok erictski, I applied the Dovo White Paste to my
SRD Premium, so I'll report back once it has dried
and I've given it a few tries. If I don't like it then
it is a great excuse to buy another 1-2 Premiums,
and probably a couple new Tony Miller's to make
it even

So, the paste has imparted a plasticky feel to the
strop, and I wasn't thrilled about the feel of the
webbing to begin with. It also did not apply very
evenly, and would `soak' into the strop immediately.

I wouldn't recommend using the white paste with
the SRD webbing, but of course others are free to
experiment

I too tried it and havent liked it. I may get a cotton from TM to use with dovo white..

Have you used white paste on other strops, or was this your first attempt?

I haven't applied the white paste to other
strops, but one of my favourite linen strops
was the Dovo Best Russian -- which had a
linen side pasted with white paste. I loved
the feel and performance of this strop.

Aha.

Well, I myself was quite surprised at how much white paste was required to do the TM 3" canvas strop. I used the entire tube, and had to be careful to spread it on evenly, otherwise I don't think there would have been enough in there to do the job. You may want to get another tube of the white so that you can get a nice even coating on there. Especially since you are already a white paste fan, you might as well go all the way!
