Brandon, follow these steps when you next do a tiger wrap to completely eliminate micro bubbles from forming in the channels; i use flexcoat cp thinned 50% with distilled water. by thinning it you greatly reduce those frothy bubbles from forming. lower your loaded brush so it just touches the surface and at the same time turn your rod with your other hand until you completely saturate your tiger

I should add this only happened to me once when i first tried chroma seal or diamondite. I applied a heavy coat over a 6 layer weave to allow it to penetrate through the layers, and had to leave the rod unattended turning on my dryer, due to a powercut it stopped at some point and dried with some build up sags.

I had something like that happen once when i was using cp, cant remember if it was chroma seal or Diamondite?

It was hardly noticeable when i applied the finish. Hope this might of helped.

Hi, im a new member, this is my first post on the forum. i also like to put a thin coat over metallic thread because of the air issue, and especially if ive used it in a weave to enable me to roll and flatten out any gaps as im sure a lot of weavers do.
