I hate cp.

Sometimes you must use it. When I do , i wrap the whole guide , then apply the CP to the areas I want protected. i try not to get any on black thread because then it is not jet black when epoxied.

If I use cp , I put on a lot , like way too much , no attempt at a then coat. Then i wick off the excess. That way it soaks right in. I seldom use more than 2 coats of cp but have used 3 on very light , bleed prone colors. i also use it when I do fancy work using madeira thread, the madiera thread version I use has a sizing which will fish eye bad if the epoxy is applied without the cp first.

Did i say I hate cp.
