Okay, I found a premade paddle strop at Hobby Lobby. I mean, it's perfect, a little more than three inches wide and almost as long as a full strop. I had an old latigo strop laying around, and I was so excited about this find that I decided to glue it to this paddle immediately after getting home, thinking that I can take it with me when I go to Oregon later this month. Now I'm seeing that I should have put something under the leather so it will "give" a little. So, is it really that important? And if so, what's the easiest way to remove leather that has been super-glued to wood?
