What are you loooking to use it for? Guide wraps? Light rods? Heavier rods w/ underwraps?
I WON'T use it ever again on guide wraps. Too easy for something to go wrong, something like, a blotch, epoxy not adhering to the blank. If you want to keep the color of the thread, put a Gold or Silver metallic underwrap, Nylon over with no CP. It will look better than any other guide wrap you've done (my opinion) This is ALL I do now.
If you are not going to use an underwrap, you have a dilemma. Use NCP (which I personally do not like), or let teh color bleed. If you're lucky, you're blank is not grey or black, maybe it's REd, BRown, Blues. If so, use a color very close to the blank color, and let it bleed. What happens when the epoxy is applied, is that teh color below shows through - the thread is NOT turning black like many people think. so if you have a Maroon blank, and use Maroon thread, the wraps will look dark inside, however when they go out in the sun, they will sparkle and look sweet.
You could also paint teh blank, something I'm about to enture into using Permaglos and Tetors enamal. Hopefully it will be easy as I think, and I can have all sorts of different colored rods & Nylon wraps with no CP.
