Thread: Help with linen coating

So since I am looking to do this I thought I would do it right anf find a pure powder to apply to the strop. Kremer Pigments has calcium carbonate that is 99.6 percent pure. My question is will the particle size matter as it does with other powders we apply to strops. It is rated at 1.3mic which is still pretty fine bit larger than others I have. Richard I was also thinking that as you said in your post that gum or glue might be a good additive as well to help with adhesion and longevity. Is there anything you would reccomend and any sources for tallow. Cheers for all the help
