T LAp - I see. YOu have to do a better job wrapping. THere are minute gaps in your thread, which only show up when the epoxy magnifies. DON'T use CP on black, that's not gonna help. What you need is a burnishing tool, similar to what Salt suggested or the butt wrap.

Any metal/plastic, smooth, round object will work. THose thing people use for knitting, etc. Just rub it along the wrap when your done (guide wrap, not butt). THis will slafften the threads, move them around to fill any of the 1/10000th of an inch gaps, etc.

As I previously posted, if you are not putting a coat of epoxy on teh underwrap, it will be nearly impossible to eliminate gaps (unless you are using size C or D over size A underwrap).

Hope this heps.
