hi every one ,working on my third rod now doing a butt wrap is color presever applied to the wrap before your tie off ends. as i had finished the first wrap and when i tied off the ends my threads came loose and i had to cut the wrap off the rod . most of my question are answered by doing a search .what a great web site

Good background information always helps.

You can apply CP before you tie off, if you like. But your problem is most easily solved by the proper tie-off procedure. Begin your tie-off wrap - make it very snug. Wind over the wrap end a good dozen turns or so, and then begin snipping your pattern threads. Don't cut them all at once or you'll have a lump under your tie-off wrap. Snip a few and then make another wrap or two with your tie-off thread. Then snip a few more. Then make another couple turns with your tie-off thread. Continue this until all the pattern threads have been cut.

But always make that first dozen or so turns, snugly, with your tie-off thread before cutting any of the pattern threads.
