Question – Why won't hot wax drip out of the kistka after I've taken it out of the flame?

Answer – I love how pysanky teaches science! The reason is the cohesive forces between liquid molecules responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension. Even though the hot, melted wax is a liquid, it won't come out of the kistka until the tip touches your egg.
