Copper sulphate mordant
G'day All,
Has anyone any info on using copper sulphate as a mordant in wood dyeing?
A search comes up as zilch.
Interested in what chemicals to follow it up with.
Regards,
Noel

Thanks Fred,
I'd Googled Copper Sulphate Mordant Wood, and missed that one.
I tried the search words in a few different orders this morning, and a few different pages come up. Must remember that when I search.
Regards,
Noel

I think Coppersulphate might stain the timber green.
I have successfully used ammonia as a mordant.

Thanks Bob,
Can't find my chemistry book, and "the classic finishes book" doesn't give any details.
I know it turns the galanised top of my brewery bench black where it spilt on some salt.
Did you dip the ammonia or fume??
Regards,
Noel

Yer welcome, Noel.
I have some other info on mordants (related to dying). As soon as (when) I find it, I'll post it here. There is much more to artistic dying that most folks realize.
Cheers,
