I've been practicing my wrapping on an old factory rod, and made two wraps using the same threads. One got a coat of color preserver and the other did not. Both received an application of Flex Coat and the results are here:



Aside from personal preference, a lot of what I read points overwhelmingly to NOT using CP on wraps. Any reason or opinions on this, or have I just encountered a lot of builders from the non-CP camp?

Sorry for the blur, but the camera wanted to focus on the bench and not the rod. The color differential is what's important, and that's evident even though it's out of focus.
