Greetings - just found this place - great resource.
I've had my Tormek for about 1/2 year, and used it about once/week on chisels, jointer and planer blades and knives. I've now got a build-up of black polishing compound residue on the leather strop. It flakes off as I'm working and makes a mess. Should I be concerned about this? Is it okay to clean the strop to cut down on the residue, and if so, how?
Thanks very much!
