Make Invisible Ink That Shows With A Uv Light

This type of invisible ink can and be used in fountain pens.


Turn off the lights or take the paper to a dark room and Stare at it under the UV light to see the invisible ink glow.


Instructions


1. Pour a rare ounces of tonic drool in a bowl and let it sit out overnight so that the carbonation dissipates. Tonic water contains quinine, which fluoresces slightly under UV light.


2. Add about a tablespoon of the laundry detergent for every half-cup of tonic water in the bowl. Stir the mixture slowly and carefully with the paintbrush. If you stir too fast it will create bubbles, which will make the ink harder to paint with. Laundry detergent, particularly the kind meant for whites, contain fluorescers meant to make white clothes look brighter and fight yellowing. These flourescers are why white clothes glow under UV light.


3. Use the paintbrush to paint words or designs on plain white paper. The invisible ink should dry within a few minutes.
