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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.171.207 (talk) 30 July 2006
- Urine is part of an affixed stain. Indigo, I think, but don't ask me for the whole process. Brewhaha@edmc.net 09:08, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.206.234 (talk) 26 January 2007
- fixative is a synonym, much as in photography. Hmmm. Dye sublimation might be relevant, too. Mordants affix stains. IOW, Mr. Stuart's blueing (potassium ferrocyanate) can be affixed by sodium hypochlorite (bleach). In photography, the mordant removes part of the stain, but there's also a fixation step.

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) blah
- I think that's off topic. pyrotechnics and stains are quite different.Brewhaha@edmc.net 09:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
