so it made sense to use it because the materials used in both cases are the same leather and wood.
i do have cue tip glue thats also another option but prefer quality epoxy.
my paddle strop will be a modular one meaning the stropping surfaces are held on by magnets, i got the idea from Lynn Adams on a YouTube video (sorry Lynn but i want to try make my own rather than buying one).
i live in the uk and am importing some Dry Erase Magnetic Strip Roll 3" x 10' Magnet from the USA (assuming it sticks to itself still waiting for a response on that one).
i will stick the material to the "write on" side
i cant find any rolls of 3" magnetic strips in the uk.
using magnets means i can have as many stropping materials i as i want that all fit on the same strop.
im not trying to hijack this thread but
i do have a few questions though:
any suggestion on stropping surfaces and materials i could use and where i can get them?
like polly webbing or cotton canvas real linen and how thick this material should be, my leather is 3mm and i can get wool felt in thats 3mm thick.
but back to the adhesive good quality epoxy resin or cue tip glue gets my vote.
