@jab23756 you cover the green with bees wax, wax makes the color stay.

@jab23756 The black is wax its dark bees wax, then you cover green with the dark wax and when you melt it off it is green underneath. :) the color stays where you put the wax

A great tip would be to get a syringe. Then, after you've done the first hole, bend the syringe needle a bit (they are sturdy, but be careful), take it full of air and then stick the needle inside the egg. Gently push the air inside the egg and keep it the nose up. As the air filles the egg, the jolk comes out. If this is done taking time and care, it doesn't break.

It was good video though, answered several of my questions.

@lotacarolina Yes I used to do that too now you can get an upsidedown air pumper tool, I couldnt find mine for the video:( but yes they work great and you dont get egg all over your fingers:)

@jnnmbby LOL nope you cant use regular candle wax, it peels off very easy, you need bees wax because it is sticky and adhears to the egg better. If you cant find bees wax, go buy a plumbers ring for a toilet, its made out of pure beeswax (make sure they are pure who knows what they might add in for chemicals) For dye if you cant find a shop that sells it in your area, use food coloring and dab it on with a Q tip. Let it dry completely before putting your wax on. Hope this helps:)
