I Hate asking to many questions and bothering. I USUALLY ALWAYS do my own due dilligence when it comes to stuff like this. I have multiple expensive kangaroo bench strops also that I spent a lot on and want to make sure I don't or will F them up. Is the 3m silicone carbide dark sandpaper on amazon with the white porsh or whatever car auto one they sell in various grits looks like black maybe color from like 1000. 1500 2000 and 2500 ok to use or does it have to be specific for leather. They also have another brand with no car on it on the front packaging. That one is colored yellow and red packaging looks like maybe a little lighter color sandpaper greyish black. I just noticed amazon has 2 different 3m branded silicone carbide styles and not sure if it matters or not. The one I recently bought without the car on it is ultra fine in 320 and 600 but its black paper when I looked at it today. You said at the end of the video the darker color 3m paper for more is the way to go and a few bucks more. If its just any wet or dry 3m that's silicone carbide that's perfect some guys on there are selling them for like way to much for a 5 pack and some people are out of stock for the ones without the car on it. Its insane for sandpaper. Not sure what to do because home depot out here in LA where I'm at is out of them also for yellow and red packaged wet or dry paper in 1000+ grits. Only auto polish available on amazon. I'm am very very grateful for you help bro and knowledge you have no idea its putting me on the right path for sure keep up the good work man.

thank you for this.. this is exactly what im going to do on my kangaroo and cow strops before I put the jende compounds on it.. they are also jende strops like mailmandownedc mentioned a few months ago... I think I will just buy 3m sandpaper all the way up to 2000 grit... The one question I had is it ok to wet the 3m sandpaper and sand it wet then let the strop dry inbetween each grit?

What is the benefit of doing this ?

😅turned rated R when you shook that can!!😊 sorry I was surprised by the velocity at which you spontaneously started shaking the can😮 great idea!!

Especially for a newbie it is always helpful to keep a finger under the tip when working on it to help keep from rounding the tip off.

Nice work! How did you manage to get the curves with the pick n pluck?

Thank you for this video. I'm getting ready to do this to my Apache case and this was helpful.

Does it hold moisture

I went with the 4800 and just did 3 coats, will probably do one or two more just to be safe

Do you guys know if its better than Jende and Gunny Juice?

Awesome tips and tutorial on the heel! You explained it and showed it really well 👏

You should post a video of the entire sharpening!

Which grit you are using and stone? I had problems trying to grind it with the worksharp diamond ones

What is your long term opinion of this

A mutual good friend, Mr. Ryan A., 😁suggested I watch this video since I’m going to be purchasing a few Jende kangaroo strops for my KME Sharpener and will be loading them with Gunny Juice. This is what I needed! Thanks! Subbed as well.

Great video! Thanks for showing this process.

Could you do this first before you cut it? Does it smell after it dries?

Hi. What about the smell of the paint when you close the case?

Cool nice tip

Bought that exact same Apache case yesterday, even the same color! I've started doing the cutting, have to pick up a can of PlastiDip today. Good video, answered some questions I had - thanks!

I've got the large HF Apache case that I intend to use as an EDC storage case. Your video should help out. Wish I had seen it before I did my Husky case. Thanks

Hi there what's the difference between 0.5 or 4 micron which gets your knife sharpener

I think some of the shininess you're getting might actually be the leather burnishing which will indeed close the pores up if that's your intention then imo you're on the right path.

You will save a lot of the Plasti-Dip if you sprayed both parts stacked together instead of apart.

I tried to do this to my box and RUINED it. Coats were so heavy the foam actually shrunk a few inches all around. Good video, great info. Will definitely be more patient next time.

Any reason you can't use regular latex paint with a small roller?

Awesome video! Will be doing this to my blitz 360, wish they did this from the factory.

Stroppy stuff FTW

Thank you for this! Subbed! Question. Both Gunny Juice and Stroppy Stuff are very expensive. Any alternatives you'd recommend? Have you tried the Venev diamond pastes?

Great work there!!

Good info thanks!

Excellent video man!! There’s a lot of bad info on strop maintenance out there but this one is spot on. Great job.
