Tony, just checked out your website. Nice work. It's funny, I just started a rod with that variegated thread. Did you use CP on it. I've got it from pro wrap but it doesn't specify colorfast. Thanks.

Gary,

Thanks for the compliments!

As per the viriegated wrap, No Color Preserver was used and I used Flex Coat "Lite" before I overcoated everything with the High Build.

If its not "colorfast", I haven't really noticed any change whatsoever since its dark and light when it goes on. It always comes out perfect.
