Hey there!
I just picked up one of the NOS linen strops off of the classifieds, rendering my old one useless (yay!) and therefore pasteable (YAY!).

Anyways this got me thinking.
I have a great Paladin strop from Kenrup, with the canvas component, so I don't need to leave anything else unpasted. (as well as an NOS red imp that I don't want to use... it looks too good lol)
So I have these surfaces for pasting:
1x Illinois horse hide
1x Illinois linen
2x Vintage linen
3-4x Belfast linen (homemade)

I have crox and ceox, previously dabbled with on balsa, and I prefer rocks. However I wanna try them on hangers. What would be most receptive? The vintage linen and Illinois linen are obviously the treated kind that you find on old strops, the Belfast linen I have is raw cotton basically.

Then is there a strop paste for linen that is NOT abrasive?

Finally can someone straighten out the dovo paste line for me? Are they even worth it compared to crox, ceox, and diamond stuff from SRD?
