I asked a question about this just a few minutes ago ( under another video) and then found this video and it answers my question totally. I must have missed this video earlier, probably because earlier I was too much a beginner to be interested in the subject. Sorry.
This is SO very helpful! Especially the workarounds.
Thank you Laura. Really useful
Thank you Laura...I'm new at all this ( painter originally!). Am really enjoying your sharing of advice and experience so generously! :)
Great advice, thank you!
Awesome. Thank you from Colorado usa
Hugely helpful, thank you!
Thank you that was great
wonderful! I imagine Paradontax toothpaste might work too, it's too gritty for my teeth my dentist tells me. Sodium Bicarbonate is the stuff in it. We use this toothpaste to clean sooth from ceramics out of the raku fire.
Great info! Thanks!
Many thanks Laura, how do you feel about the Flexcut Slipstrop? Looks as if it's a honing tool which would do as your method does? I wouldn't mind the Cif and leather option but as I have neither this little tool looks as if it may do the same thing and I can add it to my Xmas list :)
Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge (-: Marion
Do you also do this for the cheap blades that come with the Abig set?
You certainly can do with them
What's cream cleaner equivalent in the states?
I guess scouring cream - stuff you’d clean a stove top with, slightly gritty gloop. No idea about a brand name for the US though 😳
Laura Boswell ahh. Our brand is called Soft Scrub. Thank you.
maybe Vim would be an equivalent?!
I always feel like I get a huge buildup of the paste/filings on my flexcut stropblock. Is there any reason to scrape that off to get better access to the leather? Do the residual filings in the leather ever affect the honing?
