Thread: Pasting a strop

Hi,
I have recently tried pasting a few strops I made.

I had a "closed loop" of leather with handle kind of strop, I learned not to watch Tv and strop a razor at the same time

So I am making strops of my own now, leather one side, Nubuck the other side. Works quite well. So I figured trying to paste them, DOVO red and blue paste, and chromium oxide. The red side of my original strop was solid deep red.

When pasting the strops I cant get that kind of coverage, Not even close. I do get a lot of goo on the razor, the stuff just doesn't stay put on the strop.

What am I missing?
How much paste is enough?
Any pics of how it should look?
