I know that they are cheap to buy in the store's but making your own is awesome thanks for sharing your video and look forward to seeing the next one

If I Put More Strontium Aluminate, Will It Become Brighter?

[mernokimuvek]

I guess these would get even brighter near an arc welder or a Tesla coil. Nice project.

Could you mount them around a UV LED and make a glow lantern?

Great video! Thanks! I wish i had watched this sooner, i wont be able to get that powder in time for Halloween, but i found another method im going to use for Halloween. Id like to also try this method when i can.

best and useful video of my day thanks for making it and keep making more

[khushboimran]

Can i use glow stick liquid to make it more I don't have the powder

[ArmoredGaming]

Excuse me, I have a question: how does one go about making it semi-clear and still glow? This is great but it the color is to solid for my taste, and I would love to see a semi-clear version of it

[AllieGRhythm]

Perfect for at-home Hatsune Miku concerts!

[haifaomrani]

[thameenansarihaadhiya]

I saw that u answered and replied all comments here

[rafaelalvarez]

I only get glow sticks in stores but making it that would be good

[tS-ghdj]

So just to be clear it’s 10ml oil and 1/2 Tsp strontium aluminate.?

[assassinelite]

i wanted to ask can i make a really long one using the same technique for the small ones?

[smitshah]

Nice idea. What type of vegetable oil u r using.?? Is there any specific one...??

[TravelFM-]

Is it safe to use strontium aluminate because it is a chemical

[sjei.]

Could you put this in water with a flower to make photoluminescent flower petals?
