To preserve or not to preserve thread color
#2
[cool]I use clear nail polish on decorative wraps to pack the thread & hold it in place. Also on underwarps to keep the overwraps from digging into the underwraps. Multiple thin coats will prevent blotchiness. I use acetone for thinner.

I have never liked the milky white CP at all. It affects the color, especially black, and is slow drying. It also can relax the thread in decorative wraps.

Some people like Gudebrod CP811 thinned with denatured (NOT rubbing) alcohol. I haven't used it much but am told that it can also relax the threads.
