Actually, with pysanky you empty out the egg using a tool and a blower.

They're clean, light, and don't stink.

@pamrouzer If I do I will definitely let you know, thank you so much for the tip! Happy pysanky writing!

@pogmofoil I've never used it for the traditional kitska, but I would imagine it working better (if not the same). If you try it let me know how it works out :) I just got in my order of new dyes, so once I make my colors and am ready to go I will try it out too

@pamrouzer Yeah I've been using basic beeswax. Will the special kind work better for non-electric kitskas too?

[pamrouzer]

@pogmofoil You may be using the wrong type of beeswax. There are types of wax specifically made for electric kitskas

@beefalie they are used as decoration

Does anyone have experience with electric kistkas? I always test mine (it's not electric) on newspaper after I add new wax and the lines are fine, but as soon as I apply it to the egg it comes out in blobs. Will the electric kistka stop this, or am I just doing something wrong?

@Centannicocktails I got mine at a craft store like Michaels (I don't know if you have that wherever you live) but you can also get them online, try Ukrainian Gift Shop Inc.'s website. It wouldn't let me post it on here but you'll be able to find it.
