Rayon Question

Guys I have a young lady that has ordered a rod and brought me some ribbon, made of rayon, she wanted me to incorporate into the but wrap. Before I started looking to match some wrapping thread to the ribbon I thought I better ask the question here. Has anyone used Rayon before? Do you apply CP to it? Does it hold up well, i.e. fading etc..?

Gabe,

It will give you the same performance as rayon thread regarding fading and durability. Apply about 3 coats of CP to it and you should be fine. If you have the waether and a few day try some in the sun for a few days. I used it on a barber pole wrap I did for a friend and it still looks fine.

Tight lines,
