CP question - open wraps

Howdy all

Quick question... just finished my first decorative wrap... it an open wrap (elongated chevrons) using Madeira thread... i plan on a few coats of CP (chromaseal) but have a question... when coating a large open wrap do folks recommend only coating the threads or do you cover the whole section of the wrap including the exposed blank with the CP...

what are best practices here if anyone can share their experience.

thanks

mike

I don't cover the open area of the blank.

I only cover the threads, but I don't think it really matters.

I cover all the areas with CP. I do take some care to not leave large globs of CP on the open spaces. I pick up the excess with a dry brush on both the threads and the open spots.

Mike,
Of course, you always have the option of using NO CP on the rod at all.

I personally never use CP, unless a client makes a personal request for its use. I just prefer the look.

Be safe
