All,

I'm sure this questions has been answered. But I can't find it.

I have 3 strops.

Illinois 127 about 4 years old seen better days.
Dovo Rindleder about 17” long
Dovo Rindleder about 10” long, never been used or pasted.

Which one should I use to put .25 micron diamond paste onto. Or should I make my own Balsa paddle. For the balsa paddle I was thinking 10" long by 3" wide single sided.

Many thanks.

Peter
