is CP needed over snakskin Exp users only

I have made lots of builds but I have never used snakeskin so is CP needed on snakeskin before using epoxy or Spar Vanish as I my use Spar Vanish in place of epoxy so this is a question for those that have used both Epoxy and Spar Varnish to do this.

The issue is that without CP the skin will darken severely and look terrible. I use CP to adhere it and completely coat it. There was a very nice article in a previous RodMaker issue.

You should use CP not just on but under snakeskin, to adhere the skin to the blank as well as to prevent discoloration.
