Hello carvers,
This is my first post to this section.
I love to carve, but don't do it much.
Have the outfit here:

I was using the stropping stuff, green and yellow, but it gets in clumps on this wheel-I primarily use the one on the right, as you can tell.
My main question is--I started using Tormek white compound on it, removing it periodically with a scraper card. Is this too way off base?
How to apply regular cmpd so it won't clump and get bumpy on the wheel?
Extra question-do any of you all hone the inner radius of your chisels/gouges? As in the wheels on the left. I mean, those are supposed to be deal flat like a plane iron, right? Some level of sophistication is likely required to relieve the back--using the wheels on the left, correct?
If it makes any diffo, I was told to buy "Pfeil, Pfeil, Pfeil" years ago--so that is the geometry that I have.
Thanks
