yes, several coats of cp, thin it with some alcohol, if I use the cp I do about 4-6 light coats...
To get an idea of how your color will change if you dont use cp, just put some alcohol on the wrap and see what color it changes, it will quickly dry and go back to normal.. Sometimes I like the thread color and use the cp, sometimes it looks better darker with no cp. The choice is yours...

Used hard and put away dirty....

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.
