Thread: Paddle strop questions

I just got my new Tony Miller 2 1/2" two sided paddle. It's honey brown leather on both sides. Tony, fabulous work.

I have a couple of questions. I'll be using 1 and .5 micron pastes. How much should I use for the first treatment? I have a tube of each.

Also, how do you tell which side is which? I guess I could mark them or something, but I thought I'd see how everyone else does it first.

Can't wait to try this thing out.

Edit: Also, how do you store yours? I don't want to contaminate the paste or get it on anything...
