Diamond compound for stropping

[Rickyd]

Has anyone used this? I have always used the old wax type, thinking of getting a couple of these spray on diamond compounds. Most probably 1 micron, 0.5 0.25 and .10

No never used a diamond spray compound, I just use green compound 10 strops per side on a rough veg tan cow hide,Then i use a smooth side veg tan cow hide with Tormek paste and a small amount of machine oil, 10 strops per side with a slight degree angle change gives me 50 grams of cutting pressure. My PB was 12 grams of cutting pressure but i aim for 100 or under, all done on my home built 2x72 variable speed grinder at around 10/15hz.

You do exactly what I do. Other than I use stones rather than a machine, I am happy with my current set up, but the more I see this diamond paste the more I want to give it a try

I can highly recommend diamond pastes for a stropping. Spread it on a strope let it dry and enjoy using it for months
