Why does vinegar make egg dye stronger?
The dye binds to the protein in an egg shell; this is an animal protein, similar to silk or wool. The same types of dyes that work on silk or wool will also dye eggs. The dye molecules bind, both directly and via hydrogen bonds, to protein molecules in the eggshell. The dyes used to dye eggs are acid dyes, called that because they work best in an acid environment. Vinegar is an acid, and adding it to the dye solution makes it more acid, and potentiates both types of binding.
Is it okay to dye a duck egg for Easter?
Of course it's okay to dye a duck egg for Easter. Traditionally, chicken eggs were the eggs of choice for making pysanky, but any egg that was handy could be used: goose, duck, swan. Today pysanka artists use duck, chicken, and goose eggs to create traditional patterns, and quail, turkey, rhea, and ostrich eggshells to make non-traditional ones. Duck eggs have a tougher outer coat to protect them, and often do not accept the dye as readily as chicken eggs. This may result in a more pastel final effect. You can try cleaning the surface of the egg really well with vinegar to see if that helps. Have fun!
What is egg dye?
A chemical solution (either natural or industrial) used to color eggshells. The dye is composed of water and the pigment molecules, which bind to the surface of an egg. Most dyes used for coloring eggs are mildly acidic.
Why does Easter egg dye come off?
Most Easter egg dyes are water based, and so will re-dissolve in water if given the chance. If the egg becomes moist (even if held in a damp hand), the dye will come off. In the case of eggs meant to be eaten, this is not a very big deal. In the case of eggs made to be saved, like pysanky, this can be a problem. That is why most pysanka artists coat their finished eggs with a protective varnish.

Where does ducks have eggs?

Why doesnt the cold dye rise in warm water?
Cold dye is denser than warm water, so it sinks instead of rising. When cold dye is added to warm water, it stays at the bottom because the warm water is less dense and stays on top. This difference in density causes the cold dye to remain submerged in the warm water.
Why didn't the cold dye immediately rise into the warm water?
The cold dye did not immediately rise into the warm water because of the difference in temperature. Cold liquids are denser than warm liquids, causing the cold dye to stay at the bottom initially. As the dye warms up, it becomes less dense and starts to rise through the warm water.
Why doesn't cold dye rise into warm water?
Cold dye is denser than warm water due to differences in their molecular structure and temperature. When substances are more dense than their surrounding environment, they will sink rather than rise. As a result, the cold dye will stay at the bottom of the warm water instead of rising to the top.
Do you wash a tye dye shirt in warm or cold water after you dye it?
