Color Change?

Why does the thread color change when you put color pre on NCP thread? I know NCP needs none but I use it to draw out any air that might get trapped. Should I be using non NCP thread?

All threads change colors once anything is applied. There's a ton of misinformation out there. The reality is if you put epoxy on that NCP thread, it's going to change colors as well, same like it changed with CP. Why not do a test sample of a few different types of threads, CP some, epoxy others - and see for yourself what happens.

Plus the NCP thread looks flat. The regular nylon has more sparkle.

Bill, I like "sparkle" I'll have to take a closer look about that. Thanks
