Webbing
Is nylon or polypropylene webbing usable fr stroping? If so how well does it work?

Yes, nylon fire hose makes an incredibly effective strop, I have found.
Some don't like the 'feel' as it is fairly zippy. Has worked a treat for myself.
Some say car seat belts work nicely."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

For the most part I am not a fan of zippy strops, but the are effective. Some of the vintage strops had zippy linen on them.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

I don't really like them either but yes, they work. I prefer flax linen fire hose and hemp fiber. Check out hemtique on ebay. They have 3" hemp fiber that is totally Hadassah and cheap. Some say you have to pound hemp fiber webbing but I have not with this stuff. It is soft like cotton but, BOY, is it aggressive.
