My recipe and directions:
Heat oven to 170, place clean strop on a cookie sheet with a towel on top to warm up.
Carve chips from your stropping compound in a tiny bowl and add about 1/4 Obenauf's LP to chip ratio.
While the strop is heating, nuke the chip mixture until emulsified.
Apply the compound mixture to the warm strop with an artists brush, making sure everything stays liquid.
Let sit at room temp for 5 min, then put the strop back in the oven for 10 min.
Remove from the oven and place the strop in the freezer long enough to bring to room temp.
Remove from freezer and carefully remove excess compound with a paper towel.
Repet steps for different grits.
The compound should deeply impregnate the leather while the Obenauf's treats it to stay supple.
To clean off the metal shavings, use liquid Obenauf's or any other food oil.
Bonus tip: use the leftover compound mixture to clean and shine your sink.
