You all may have answered this before. I am getting ready to build a rod with Medeira, which I have never used. Do I need to use color preserver with it? Think the answer is yes, but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks! --Joe Re: Madeira Thread

Thanks Paul. Much appreciated. I usually use NCP. Is it best to use 2 coats of CP? Re: Madeira Thread

Paul,
I found out what "fish eyes" are! Put on 2 coats of Carsons Crystal Clear CP. When I applied the flex coat I saw them start to show up - the finish sort of "separates." Used to putting the first coat on kind of thick at the base, where the longest run of Maderia was and thats where they showed up. Started applying it much thinner on the guides and it seems to have stopped. Went back and thinned off the finish on the longer base wrap. Seems to have worked also. Colors are consistent. If any fish eyes remain, can I simply apply the next layer of flex coat to fill in or should I put more CP in the fish eyes first, if that makes sense? Appreciate everyone's help as I am a regular NCP user and a CP newbie. I do like the regular thread as Bill mentioned. Next time I guess I need 3 coats of CP. Thanks all! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
