Rayon Embroidery thread

I just did my top wrap of my Tiger wrap with the sacrifice thread, and when I epoxy it, there was all these hairs of the thread sticking out of the epoxy, like if the thread was caoming apart and left me all these nubs with hairs sticking out of them, it is my first coat so i will get rid of them on the next coat, has anyone had this happen to them with rayon?

Yes, rayon is notorious for "hairs".
