Q re Applying Diamond Spray to Wool Felt Strop
Received SRD's wool felt strop and 0.5 diamond spray in the mail today. The instructions say to spray it twice and let it sit over night.
There's no indication how closely I should hold the spray bottle to the strop, however.
Will those who've applied it with good results tell me how closely you held the bottle to the strop?
Also, I saw a post from Lynn saying he did 3 passes when spraying. Can the experienced/successful users tell me how many passes you did?
p.s.
I did not expect that the wool would have a "grain to it." Move your hand upward, and there seems relatively smooth. Move down, and there is noticeably more friction.

Would someone like to comment on the wool felt grain issue? How is the strop manufactured and does the grain affect the razor edge in any way? Inquiring minds want to know.........Thanks
When I first got it, I noticed the same thing. Try to alternate on directions, however, with time and use, I have not notice any difference on the quality of the edge, using without alternating. Double O
