I'm planning out my next 2 rods and plan to try tartan wraps. I understand the basics of wrapping diamonds with darkers colors, then filing in with regular white thread and do not apply any CP. I also understand I should paint the blank white before wrapping.
For the diamonds with dark threads, does it matter whether those are NCP thread or nylon thread? John Shear Chippewa Falls, WI Re: tartan question

If you want bleed thru, then you want to use regular nylon. Anywhere you want a solid, opaque thread to hide what's behind it, you want an NCP thread.

Ya Tom, I understand that. I guess for the dark colors in the base diamond wrap I don't know if want them to bleed somewhat or not. I suppose the best thing is to do some test wraps both ways and see the effects for myself. But I figured guys have already done this and found what looks right.
