NCP and CP threads

I have done a search on this and cannot find an answer if it is there.

I ended up using NCP thread and CP thread in a chevron wrap I did. Will this cause any problems? I have read posts where people used NCP thread and applied CP to it, but not where NCP and CP thread were used in conjunction. I would think it would not matter too much.

Also, when applying the CP to the chevron. It is an "open wrap" (I think I am using that rem correctly). It has a lot of blank in between the chevrons. Do I apply the CP to the entire blank where the wrap is or just carefully apply to where the threads are.

Does it really matter?

I'm not sure what you mean by "CP Thread." I assume you mean regular nylon thread?

I don't think you'll have any problems, but obviously you'll have to apply CP to the wrap if you don't want those regular nylon threads to darken on you.

Yes, on an open wrap you'll have blank showing between the crosses/centers. I never applied CP to the blank in between, but I know others do and it doesn't seem to matter much either way.

I do mix and match nylon and NCP thread in decorative wraps. I do use cp on all threads and have not had any problems to date. Ed
