I have skipped color preserver occasionally, but I find that there are way more bubbles when you apply finish over threads without cp. The cp fills in the space between the threads. While I haven't missed a spot with cp yet, I do have a rod that I just put a few coats of cp on this weekend. For some reason, the one wrap has a spot that seems to have gotten wet or something. The cp basically turned opaque white. I tried to fix it, but haven't had mush success. In any case, I like it for its sealant properties.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
