The thread color will darken quite a bit in some cases until the color preserver is dry then the thread will return close to it's original color. On a dark background though many light colors will be a shade or two darker regardless. Nature of the beast.

Most manufactures recommend 2 or 3 coats of thier CP be applied.

Raymond, thanks for explain on color presever and now i can see it on my wrapping guide, look good... still do some practice on 2 and 3 and 4 guides from tip pretty get smaller smallest on leg wrap more..

Keep your wraps tight against each other as any very tiny gaps will allow the background to show through and make the thread appear even darker or lighter depending on blank color.

the old blank were broke but i just get rid of them and use to practice and the blank was kind dark brown i think it was browning rod but no brand on it.. i wonder do i have to do 1st coat of color presever then let it dry before do 2 coat or a final coat before put a finish coat on ?

Just follow the maker's instructions on the bottle and you will do fine.

i wonder how much should i put cp on thread ? should i brush it around wrap or just hold brush and rotate and leave the white to go through the thread ??
