    Default Remove chromium and diamond from felt

    Hi guys, I was just wondering if there is an easy way to remove chromium oxide spray and diamond spray from a felt strop. Let me know any methods you know of.

    Turn it upside down and beat it like a rug. Maybe a vacuum with a hose attachment ? I don't think you could wash it. IMHO, you'll never get it all out of there.

    Easy answer - buy another bit of felt and toss the old one.

    Regards,

    Did you put diamond AND CrO2 on the SAME belt

    Neil is correct, buy another or two or five.

    It's a hanging strop with 2 felt pads. One has chromium the other has diamond.

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    I gave a friend a flatbed hone with magnetic base. Had a felt that I had treated with chrom-ox powder dry. Every time you ran a razor over it, even 5 years later a cloud of green would hang in the air. He told me he beat it over a trash bag and got a lot of the loose stuff out.

    What is the problem with the felt ? Too much of a good thing ? IOW, why do you want to get all of it out ?

    I've flushed leather strops with a pressure washer before (just wanted to see if it could be done ), but I don't think felt would hold up to that. Neil is right, buy a new strop or 5. You can put a larger grit size on the used ones.

    Because I end-up spending much more time cleaning my kitchen counter-top after stropping on it, than I do while stropping on it. What a mess!
