Talk:Mordant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I was just watching season 1, episode 2, of Rough Science, and it says that urine can also be used as a mordant. I got it wrong. I finished watching the episode, and they tried 3 different liquids for mordants. Turns out boiled urine didn't work afterall. I can't recall what they did end up using. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.167.171.207 (talk) 30 July 2006
Is it worth adding a section on that by definition, only a metal can be a mordant? I know that it is common usage to refer to non-metals such as tannic and picric acids as mordants, but this is technically incorrect. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.180.206.234 (talk) 26 January 2007
This page could use a note regarding the use of mordants on candle wicks. I don't know enough about it to make the addition myself. QuinnHK 23:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
