Either that or you didn't get a uniform coat of CP on the thread. Or, your thread wasn't packed tightly enough.

What color thread over what color blank?

With Chromaseal cp you want to apply at least two full coats and let it turn on a dryer until completly dry and the colours have fully returned, sometimes with differrent temperatures this can take a little longer, but usually the next day the colours will have completly returned with no bleed through issues. You can apply finish to the wraps the next day but i always prefer to wait at least 24 hours first.

Hi Bucky,
I'll second Steve's comments although I don't let it dry in a dryer and haven't had a problem.

I have found putting it on while turning like said gives better coverage
30 min later should be set If warm
Several coats

The simple reason i turn the rod on my dryer when applying a full coat of Chromaseal to the wraps is to prevent it from dripping and building up at the bottom if i just let it sit until dry. I check it every so often and usually turn off my dryer when it is almost dry.
