Safety
Precaution: wear protective gear - respirator mask, eye goggles, rubber gloves & apron when sanding, cutting, carving, scratching, drilling holes, or etching eggshells. Lack of safety may result in bodily injuries or respiratory illness.
What you need to know...
All eggshells are candled against cracks and other defects. Guaranteed structurally sound.
Eggshells have one small drilled hole, centred, on the wide end bottom, blown out, washed (no harsh chemicals) & rinsed inside and outside of the shell. Eggshells are air-dried. The cleaning process will not affect dyes or other materials. If stains or shadows are present on white egg surfaces, they will disappear during dyes and etching. Optional: Plug the drain hole and soak in vinegar for 1 minute. A light scrub and rinse. (The natural colour egg will lose the surface tint - not recommended)
- Remove all wraps after receiving your package and inspect all the eggshells.
- PLEASE BE SURE TO ALLOW 24 -48 hours in house temperature before use.
