I've got a cheapo belt from Wal-Mart that isn't any good anymore. Could I use that as a strop? It says it is made out of leather. It's got a very smooth finish too. I figured I'd cut a foot long section of the belt and mount it to a piece of wood and use that for my strop.
Now about the technique, what angle do I strop at? How often should I strop? Should I use a compound or will regular leather work fine? How long should I strop?
