1. Be sure to wear gloves - it is more convenient to work with sweat. Cut the sweat into small pieces.
2. We take a boiled egg and use a brush to lubricate one half with protein. The protein layer must be very thin. We apply a piece of sweat and the second brush, moistened in water, smoothly treat the sweat from above so that it sticks to the egg.
   
   
   
3. The second half of the egg is not yet covered - we leave it so that the treated side dries.
4. Repeat the procedure with all the eggs. After 20-30 minutes, the first side dries up, and you can decorate the second part of the egg.
   
   
   
5. Important: After cleaning such an egg, it is better to wash it in running water to remove the pieces of sweat.

Potassium can also be covered with already painted colored eggs - not entirely, but applied small-scale. It's very beautiful.
