Tom, Thanks for your reply. I used Flex Coat and I did put it on a little thick, so that is probably what caused the thread to stretch, What about the dullness and almost being transparent in spots? I hate to have this happen again. Thanks to all of you that responded, it takes a lot of guys like you to help one guy like me!! Bill

I ran into a problem with color preserver. when I applied it to my guides it immediatley loosend up the threads and dried sort of blotchy and the threads became a bit transparent and dull in spots. My thread was a nylon rod winding thread. I have no idea if it was NCP, and I don`t know how to tell the difference. It was applied while turning on the rod dryer and the air temp was about 65 degre

I recently wrapped a rod and applied a coat of thread preserver and thread seal. After doing so the thread lost of the original bright yellow color, became dull and blotchy looking. It also seemed to stretch or some how loosen up. The thread I used was a Nylon rod winding thread. Could I have put it on too heavy? Is there a way to tell if it is NCP? Does it hurt if you put preserver on NC
