as soon as the paper starts to load up- before it gets glazed on-
change out the strip. collect the dirty ones and soak them for 15
minutes in hot water with a little washing soda. before they dry scrub
them down with a stiff bristle brush.

making your own is good practice and commonly done.

hundred passes with maple, and a few of mesquite, and zircote. Fortunately
I ran the bocote last.
