Thanked: 0Remove 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.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Did you put diamond AND CrO2 on the SAME belt
Neil is correct, buy another or two or five.

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 ?Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

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.
