CPXtra - 1 Part Urethane Rod FinishYou are bidding on (1) 2oz bottle of CPXtra only.
For those who want a traditional look such as in classic Bamboo builds:
Due to the durability of CPXtra it can also be used as a guide finish. 3 to 4 coats will give your thread wraps ample protection, but you may apply as many as you prefer to achieve your desired look. Follow the same application instructions as per the color preserver. If you can’t recoat in the 5-10 min window allow 24 hrs between coats.
When used to refinish rod blanks and as a finish for wood:
To Use For Blank Refinishing
Simply pour a liberal amount on to a sponge or lint free cloth. Immediately swipe the rod blank in one quick motion. If additional coats are required let the previous cure for 24hrs. Lightly scuff with a scotchbrite pad in between coats.If you are top coating a custom painted blank do a test to assure that the base coat is compatible and shows no signs of bubbling or lifting. CPXtra is excellent for finishing Bamboo blanks.
Tip: When using a sponge poke a small hole in the middle of the sponge. Saturate the area surrounding the hole with CPxtra and pull your rod blank through the hole.
To Finish Your Wooden Reelseats/ Grips
CPxtra is also excellent to finish wooden reel seat blanks or grips. Saturate a lint free cloth and wipe in one direction, wiping only one to two times. After waiting 24 to 48 hours for full cure, your finished product can be polished with micromesh or a similar product for a “mirror” finish.
Note:
If you are purchasing CPXtra for its CP capabilities alone, I would like to ask that you please reassess. While we have had great results using it in many cases for a CP alone, our product is first and foremost a urethane rod finish. We have discovered that in many cases it not only works very well as a CP, but actually enhances thread color, leaving behind a slightly darkened but brilliant color. With all the variables in thread and blank color we cannot guarantee these results in every case. I have seen the best results on bamboo and light colored rods and thread with a mix of metallic. So please keep that in mind before purchasing as only a CP. And please NEVER use as a CP unless you have thoroughly tested the desired thread on a piece of scrap blank with the same darkness.
