Hi Ken, your probably sorted by now but I use standard contact adhesive for strop. I haven’t got myself any compound yet: I’m using Farecla polishing paste instead. It’s a more expensive form of T-cut. I usually use it to polish out the insides of any fibre glass molds I make. At a push, you can even use toothpaste which is basically just minty flavoured polishing compound with added floruide. I just smear the Farecla into the leather every three or four weeks then give the strop a quick puff from a water sprayer before I polish the blade. The blade is always sharp enough to did the “shave your arm” trick and I have never had any problems with rust.
