21. Wipe off the melted wax with a towel until the wax is removed.

22. Wipe the egg with mineral spirits. This removes every last bit of wax.

23. Insert a special egg dipper into the blowhole. Dip the egg into the can of varnish and let the excess run back into the can. Let it drip 10 drops. Transfer the egg to a wire and place it on a drying board. Let dry.

24. With a brush dipped in mineral spirits, brush away the drips that form at the bottom of the egg for at least 30 minutes. Let the varnish dry at least 24 hours.

25. Display the Ukrainian Easter egg on a decorative egg stand.
