These strops are 50 x 200 mm total surface area, 50x150~ stropping area . I have 5 backings left, which means I can make 5 more strops! I use laser cut and etched Birch plywood backing for these double sided strops. Your choice of basswood or smooth or rough leather. Basswood and smooth...

I'm glad you got on well with the compound! I'm currently working on some 4um now for those who like more of a bite to their edges or to mirror blades fast. Also I'm picking up 10 prototype large strop backing from the laser cutters tomorrow, so there might be a couple large strops available...

If you rip it into thin sheets you'll have to glue it to a backing. But if you leave it in a nice thick square then you've got 4 surfaces for different grade compounds all ready to go!

Hey man, I'm glad it's working well for you. I wouldn't add more spray or sand the bass until the performance is effected. When it's taking longer to de-burr you can try adding 1 extra spray and spreading it. When the surface becomes too loaded with metal and spray you can sand it with 1000 grit...

I'll send you a DM as the rules require me to :)

Thanks Nice65! I'm really happy with how they turned out too. The compound especially is excellent imo, but you'll see for yourself when you get some :)

These strops are 32 x 100 mm. The same size as the DC4. The leather ones are about 5mm thick and the Basswood ones are about 6mm thick. I use laser cut and etched Birch plywood backing. The leather is compressed, then glued and sanded flat. The basswood ones are also flat and ready for compound...

1 Micron monocrystalline diamond suspension stropping compound. This is a high concentration compound, it cuts fast and polishes fast! It's likely faster than stuff you've used before, so be gentle to start with. 30ml bottles = £20 + £1.29 shipping to the UK 5ml bottles = £4.50 + £1.29...
