I use bees wax on my rigging, basting glue for temerity knot tying and CA to secure complex finished knots some time.

Does any one use any thing to finish coat lines after put in place. I would like to accent the lines and eliminate any fuzz on the line.

It occurs to me I would like to get a finished look like the tared lines on the original ships of the 16th century.
