I first bought Gen 4 epoxy rod finish And was really happy with the performance, so then I saw they also made a color preserver ( Vivid 5) not only does is prevent the thread from changing color but more importantly it seals a fresh wrapped thread from unraveling. Finally in my opinion it prevents bubles in the thread wraps. If you use it on your underwrap, it prevents the underwraps from absorbing water, under the guide foot.
Vivid CP is another great product from the creative genius of Andy Dear. Pairs perfectly with Gen5 or any other rod finish.
Honestly not sure yet. One rod I did was fine. The next wrap I did ,the tie offs got really cloudy and ruined them. Not sure what happened. I think it’s a lot more sensitive than the cromaseal that I’m used to.
I think it is a great product you just have to apply it with thin coats. Drys pretty quick.
