I currently have a two sided strop that I am not using. One side is pasted with green paste, however, since I purchased it on the classifieds, I am not sure if it is Dovo Green or Crox? I realize that these are two very different substances.

What is the safest way to go about completely removing the green paste to reapply Crox? I could avoid any issues and just paste a piece of balsa, but I do not want the second side on this strop to go to waste.
