Fuji (1oz. Spool) Ultra Poly and NOCP Thread
ULTRA Poly Threads require Color Preserver to retain their vivid color prior to finish application. Polyester and Nylon threads are typically brighter, with a deeper luster than their NCP (no color preserver) counterparts.
NOCP (NCP) Threads are pre-treated and do not require Color Preserver. NCP colors tend to be more "flat" (less luster) than Nylon colors, but save time by eliminating the step of color preserver before finish application.
** the NCP only colors are at the bottom of the drop down color list
NCP & Color Preserver Myth Exposed!
We have customers frequently tell us "My friend told me that I need NCP or Color Preserver so my thread won't fade in the Sun..." FALSE! The UV protection in todays modern two part finishes is what keeps colors vibrant with exposure to the sun. Polyester & Nylon threads (especially lighter colors) are semi transparent and will take on the background (rod blank) color when they are wet, like when you apply finish. Color preserver simply forms a barrier to make the thread "opaque" preventing color bleed through during finish application and has nothing to do with UV protection.
