Cason’s Crystal Clear Color Preservers
Cason’s Crystal Clear I — a Solvent based Solution
Cason’s Crystal Clear I is an advanced, solvent based color
preservative system that is completely clear at all stages of the
process. The product also has good adhesion to a variety of
substrates, and is compatible with all existing finish systems. It
produces superior results with all types of thread, including silk
and Madeira, with minimal changes in the color as compared
with the “on the spool” colors. It also retains definition of
color. To quote Billy Vivona: “When doing a shaded wrap Bill's
CP does not "lose" the shades as you progress form one color to the next.
So if you use 5 colors in a shade, the end result after CP & finish will be a 5
color shade. With other CP's, you will often end up with only 2 or 3 shades,
and lose the shaded effect.”
Cason’s Crystal Clear I also allows for the use of metallic thread that is
mixed with other threads in the same wrap. The “sparkle” of the metallic
thread is preserved while the color of the accompanying thread remains.
Use two or more coats to ensure superior results, allowing each coat to dry
thoroughly. Apply with a loaded brush without any vigorous brushing. Since
this product is a solution it will quickly penetrate all types of thread. Wick
off any extra and let it dry. Superior results are achieved if you turn the rod
after application for 5 or 10 minutes. If you have any foaming or bubbles
develop (usually caused by brushing too vigorously) then simply dip your
brush into denatured alcohol and lightly touch any areas that exhibit
bubbles. They will quickly disappear.
Cason’s Crystal Clear II — a Water based solution
Like Cason’s Crystal Clear I, Crystal Clear II is an advanced
polymer system that does a superior job of preserving color
for all thread types, including metallics. It is unique,
however, in that it is a water based product that is
completely clear in the bottle. By using new polymer
technology this product has achieved a completely clear
color preservative that is a solution as opposed to a
dispersion or suspension. It is clear in the bottle and remains
clear on the
wrap.
Use two or more coats to achieve superior results. Wick off any excess
preserver with your brush, and break any bubbles by dipping your
application brush into plain water and then lightly touching the bubbles or
foam with the brush. Turn the rod for the first five or 10 minutes. As with
all color preservatives you should be careful to full cover the treated area
with a quality finish.
