"Tannic acid is a basic ingredient in the chemical staining of wood."
Is this a poor choice of words? Or is it really basic in wood? njh 7 July 2005 09:17 (UTC)
"It is said that soaking feet in tannic acid (or strong tea) can help prevent blisters. But the use of tea for toughening skin appears to be apocryphal, inasmuch as tea is said to be incapable of tanning leather."
I'd like to see more information on this. The reference "tea does not tan leather" doesn't seem to be a very reliable source as it does not state where the information listed originated. Isaac.tanner.madsen 07:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Studies have shown that applying 10 percent tannic acid to vulnerable areas of the skin twice daily for two to three weeks makes the skin tough and less prone to blisters. "If you're a hard-core athlete or distance runner, you can use something like that," says Dr. Conrad. "But weekend athletes and beginners really don't have any business using tannic acid unless it's been suggested by a physician."

[edit] SMILES length problem
Is there a better way to format this so the sidebar is, well, really a sidebar? Sidebar is unreadable as is (in Firefox, at least) at a reasonable window width. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.5.134 (talk) 18:59, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
[edit] pKa? 10 or 6?
" Its weak acidity (pKa around 6) is due to the numerous phenol groups in the structure. " - from the first paragraph
"Acidity (pKa) ca. 10" - from the sidebar
Which is it?!
