Ok, so not a 'woe' as such but I just want to check.
I use a leather board strop with green wax type compound. When I whack it on it gets quite thick and ends up flaking off eventually.
So I thought I'd have a look if that was the right way to do it. I found a woodworking site that suggests add a couple of drops of baby oil (mineral oil) to thin it out and help the leather absorb. I don't have a baby, nor any oil so I can't check the validity of this yet.
So is that where I'm going wrong and will it help?
Also, which user is it that has the blupoo?
Cheers
