Strop material
This is probably a silly question, but: Is it absolutely crucial to use veg-tanned leather when making a strop? If so, why? Would it be possible/advisable to use, say, chrome-tanned suede or split?

Hello Christian,
many thanks. I use Dilux compound, like recommended from Phil. Did melt it in Isopropanaol, but will check terpentine as well.
My biggest issue is how to grind it to be able to get a proper dilution for easy application to the leather.
And I will check out if cardboard will be a better base for my strop
