Will PG work as a color preserver? I need to wrap a royal blue thread and I know it will darken significantly when the epoxy is applied. I don't have any CP and don't want to order some if I can get away with it.

PG will also darken thread but not quite as deep as epoxy. Do a test and see if it'll do what you want.

Will do. Thanks, Tom.

PG didn't work as a color preserver on the royal blue thread. No difference in shade.

If the thread didn't change shade with PG on it, consider it sealed and the epoxy won't change it further.

I did a side by side test with PG + epoxy and epoxy only. They looked the same. I'm just going to use the royal blue with epoxy. They both looked great. I was hoping for a bit brighter blue, like the color it is on the spool.

If you want the color on the spool, use CP.

Hey Mark,

I wish I'd have seen this earlier. I'm assuming you've already done your epoxy work by now. However, for future reference, I have used Modge Podge several times over the years and it works great!
