CP on metallic black thread?
Posted by: Tom White (---.isp.broadviewnet.net)

I'm doing a repair job on a surf rod, with metallic black size D over scarlet red
size A (regular thread) underwraps. Underwraps already have 2 coats CP. Do I need CP on the Gudebrod metallic black? I'm finishing with Flexcote.
Thanks,
Tom White

I hear that there is no need to CP black thread. But if you use Flexcoat CP it has a white milky color, it may turn your black wraps cloudy if your not careful.

No, You don't have to, but I do it anyway for these two reasons: 1) If you ever have to remove the wrap, it comes off much easier if the thread has CP and 2) I think it makes the finish stand up on the thread better to give it a nicer appearance IMO.
