| OXALIC ACID |
| Oxalic acid was used extensively as a bleach before two-part bleaches were developed. It is not as strong as the newer bleaches, but the wood tends to retain more of its character after bleaching with oxalic acid. To be used as a bleach it must be dissolved in hot water and used hot. Usually a saturated solution is used. It is made by dissolving oxalic acid in hot water until no more will dissolve and some is left undissolved. Apply the hot solution with a nylon brush. When the desired amount bleaching has taken place, wash the area with water. The last step is to wash the area with a solution of three ounces of borax mixed with one gallon of water. |

It is most effective in staining woods that are with high in tannin such as oak, mahogany and walnut. The color it produces depends on the wood, but it is generally red to brown in color. It will also stain woods that are low in tannin by prestaining with tannic acid solution. It is the best known and most used of the common mordants. It is used extensively as a mordant for the natural dyes and to give better penetration to water soluble aniline dyes. Use this chemical with caution as it is poisonous. |

If the color is too dark it can be lightened by washing the wood with a strong solution of hypo. The brown color imparted to fairly woods will gradually fade when exposed to direct sunlight. Mix only enough solution to do the job at hand as the solution on long standing will lose its effectiveness. Use it with caution as it is a strong oxidizer. |

| WELD |
| Weld (Reseda luteola), also known as dyers weed, is considered to be the
oldest yellow dyestuff known to man. During the middle ages it was grown and
used throughout western Europe. The Romans regarded weld as a color
symbolizing purity. All parts of the plant may be used, except the roots,
but the upper parts of the stalks with the leaves and flowers or seeds are
the richest in dye potential. The plants may be used fresh or air dried for
the future. The fresh plant yields more dye than the dried plants. Depending
on the mordant used, colors range from yellow to gold to yellow green. |
