I just finished some butt wraps about 1/2 " wide using black nylon (no CP)-after the finish cured I noticed some of the individual thread bands had turned translucent to almost whiteish in color.The bands showed up enough through the wrap to ruin the job. I used a jewelers eyepiece and could see the bands packed correctly(no gaps). I checked the FC finish on the tin foil and it was perfectly clear. The trim bands were not affected at all. This is enough to make you spit!-It's too late to do anything about it. Any suggestions on why this happened? I still have the entire tip section to go and don't want to run into that problem again.
