TI strop and paste

I recently purchased a TI double sided paddle strop and TI paste. Very nice paddle strop, although I wish I had a leather case for it. I was watching Lynn's DVD yesterday and he used the TI paste on the linen side fo the strop. Well, as you can imagine I am now little concerned as to whether or not to put this paste on my strop. Any ideas or suggestions? I was also wondering if there is anyone else out there who has purchased this same strop and what you may have done to keep it looking and working well.
