Color Lock 2 concerns

I just put on my first application of Color Lock 2. Having used the Guidebrod CLEAR color preserver in the past, I was a little nervous about putting that milk colored color lock on my wraps. I went ahead and did it anyways. I soaked the wraps very well and it's roatating as I'm typing this. Anyone have an experience with this color preserver? Do I need a second coat? Please tell me that it will dry clear! I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks, Tim

Tim,
Soak the first coat just like you did. Wait at least one hour, put on a second coat just like the first. Wait a good 8-10 hours and you can then apply the finish.

I use it and like it. Just don't get on the blank or it looks milky.

It will dry clear. Like most color preservers, the U-40 Color Lock is a straight acrylic type and is white in color. Gudebrod 811 is a urethane/acrylic and is not white in color. You may use a second coat if you like, although if you have applied a very "wet" coat on the first go around, it isn't likely to be necessary. However, it will not harm anything if you do apply a second coat.
