With the order to SRD of my two strops I also ordered a CROx "crayon" I imagined it to be waxy/greasy like cloth wheel buffing compound but to my surprise it went on very dry and dusty?? Also the Hard Pressed Felt strop was very "dusty" while testing it out? I'm considering dissolving the crayon in maybe alcohol (so the strop wont mold like water may do.) and using a spray bottle like SRD sells. I am on the right track here?
