Fishhawk metallic hot pink. When I put color preserver on it got very splotchy. Looks a little better now that it’s dry, but still not great. I thought that I had packed and burnished very well, it looked fabulous before I put the color preserver on.

You have a very light, bright color over a dark rod blank. If you had painted a single coat of pink paint over a dark brown or charcoal colored wall, you'd have the same result. I would ask if you thinned your CP - this sometimes causes a similar result as well.

I assume this is REflections thread that RObbie had at teh show? I assume you didn't test a new product beforfe putting it on a rod? ALways test everything new and this shouldn't happen.

You get that anytime there is a light thread and a dark blank. I prevent bleed through by painting the blank white or using a white underwrap. Yellow is the worst color I know for bleed through.

Light thread, dark blank ... no mystery. Go back over that wrap with the exact same thread and it will be cured.
BTW, CP is not going to ever prevent this from happening.
You will have to use mylar film, white paint, silver underwraps, etc. to get lighter threads to work for you on a dark blank.
