Thread: Vintage horsehide strop. Polishing.

Is beautiful Vintage horse a strop. But skin not the smooth. Questions: It is necessary to polish skin? Than to polish?

Not sure what you mean by not smooth...is it cracked? Or just rough leather? Pictures would help.

There are no cracks. But it isn't so smooth as new.

If you haven't already maybe try cleaning it with something like saddle soap or a soap with lanolin in it. Then treat it with neats foot oil and that should hopefully bring it back to being nice and supple

I washed it (can insufficiently). Strop the soft. But there is a wear.

The surface is glazed,it needs to be sanded down.do not like sandpaper on leather, but a DMT 350 will make it like new.

Diamonds don't get stuck in leather?

no>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thanks gentlemen. If there are even ways... your Thread.
Who has a link on DMT 350. I have probably Bann on Google, today.

Not just glazed but it started to dry out and the surface started to deteriorate. If it's only on the surface, sanding and some conditioner should be what you need.
