OK, perhaps this is a question for Mr. Miller...
I've lately had the crazy idea of putting the Dovo white paste on the backside of my Apprentice strop, to fill it in, smooth it out, and have it act more like the canvas strop on my Artisan.
Anybody ever try this?
Does it sound like a god idea?
Have I lost my marbles?
i have been using for long time more then 3 years. what white paste does speeds up the process that is all.
i can't answer another part of the question which is belong to Mr Miller.
hope this helps
Are you saying that you've used the white paste on the backside of the leather, or that you use it on the canvas, as it is meant to be used?Quote:

Sorry i have never used on Apprentice leather. only canvasQuote:

Thanks,

I'm not sure what rating I'd give it. Certainly lighter, and much milder than Chromox.Quote:

OK, so I tried it: white paste on the backside of my beloved TM Starter strop. I was hoping for the ultimate all-in-one strop.
Not pretty.
Not a good idea.
I did panic, thinking I had ruined my Latigo love.....
I scraped off the discolored goo (the white paste does not apply evenly to the leather) with the back of a table knife, re-oiled the strop, and I'm back in business.
White paste is for fabric only.
Thank you for letting us to know. I love to do experiments even better if results comes up what you want. GL next time
