How about cotton flannel from like a hobby shop for a board strop!

Thoughts???

Are you talking for pasted media or just a fabric strop. For pastes it's fine as a plain fabric strop there are better materials like canvas.

Thanks. Actually I was wondering about both. My neighbor/friend does a lot of sewing and has a bunch. Appreciate it.

Polyester Canvas, Sail Cloth or Pellon, fabric fusing/stiffener, work exceptionally well.

You can attach D rings, with Iron on fabric tape or sheets, no sewing needed.

That iron on glue is some strong stuff, never had one come apart yet.

A yard of either or both will make a gang load of strops.

Or you can buy 2 inch nylon and or polyester strapping from fabric stores for a few dollars a yard.

Fabric stores are always having 50 percent sales.

Just need a couple 2 inch D rings

With canvas you don’t have to finish the edge, just cut with a sharp knife or shears.

You will, have a few loose threads, just trim with shears and the weave will tighten up and the fraying will stop, not like denim.

If you use Polyester Canvas, DO NOT use a match to burn off the fraying, you WILL have a nice bright torch in seconds… and a lot of dancing…

With cotton canvas, you can use a match.
