Best way to use diamond spray

[superbleu]

I have never really used a pasted strop much, but want to try some diamond spray.
What are some of your favorite ways of using this.
I have a few different options: Hard felt, seatbelt material, denim, Glass, Lapping film that comes with the hand america modular bench strop (thanks Keith), balsa, and leather that I can use for a substrate for the Diamond spray.

Looking for suggestions on which way to go before I start spraying everything I see down with diamond spray. Also should I be using a dust mask with this stuff?

From what I hear, the hard-pressed felt is perfect for sprays. What I'm curious about is how much to apply.

I like both the Diamond Sprays and CrOx sprays on the hard felt the best. The results are very dependable. I just spray the felt up and down a couple times and let the spray dry over night. Once it's ready to go, I only use 10 X strokes and then 50-60 strokes on leather. You don't want to saturate the felt with either of these sprays.

Have fun,

Lynn

Would you recommend the .25 or .50 diamond spray for finishing a honing? I just wonder if using the .25 is worth it, or if the .50 is more than enough.

I heard felt too
Best to use carefully
.50 or .25 is a taste thing but .25 may be too much of a good thing IMHO

I also prefer the diamond spray on felt to balsa or leather or linen. (I even tried it on a Chinese 12K and on some very smooth rubbery plastic. But, those were more "mad scientist" experiments that I don't mention to too many people.)
