Q. Should I dilute the color lock with water or alcohol?
A. Neither one. Use it full strength straight out of the bottle.
Q. Does Color Lock have an indefinite shelf life like the epoxies?
A. No. Color Lock is a water base Acrylic resin, its shelf life is limited. Figure about 1 year from the time that you purchased it.
Q. Will color Lock prevent the threads from fading due to UV exposure?
A. No. None of the color preservatives act as a UV barrier. They are a barrier against the final finish changing the color of the threads, but have no anti UV characteristics. Tests have shown that the threads that are susceptible to UV deterioration—blues and reds especially—actually deteriorate quicker when color preservers are used. |
