HANDLE WITH CARE: 
 
Please handle this powder with care. While this is a naturally occurring metal salt that is relatively benign, general precautions are still very important. Wear eye protection, gloves, and a mask when handling. Do not eat, drink, or inhale the powder. Always add dry powder to wet so that it does not splash. Always mix, soak, and store your mordants using containers and utensils that are not afterward used for food. Re-seal the bag after use and store in a cool, dry place.


Used mordant baths are safe to pour down the drain or on the garden in reasonable quantities.
