Color preserver/no CP color chart?

Has anyone taken all the thread colors and made a chart , so to speak , of each thread color with epoxy: one with CP to show the true color , and one along side it without CP to show the darker NCP color?.........guess background color would play in the mix as well...hummm?

I've seen this for all Nylon & NCP colors on a scrap blank in a tackle shop. Make one up yourself - there's no need for a chart for someothng you can do on your own.

Billy,

I can surely make one, but I didn't really want to make 3, each having a differing background color (light, med, dark)

I merely wondered if someone had did all that homework and maybe saved it, seems valueable to me..........

But what good would it do you, if you weren't able to see it in person? IT would be no better than looking a tthe threads in pictures in a magazine or on a website. I've got a couple of test sticks over Blue & Purple & Gold metallic - all the Gudebrod colors. Took me a long time to make it,a dn it was done on a small blank, and I didn't make the bands long enough so it didn't come out nearly good enough.

What I do now, if I care enough to mix & match colors - is just wrap the colors I think I want on the foregrip area of the blank, and finish with 5-minute epoxy thnned with Acetone & carefully heated so it penetrates & I know EXACTLY what the colors will look like.
