    ▶️ How to make lemon juice invisible ink:
    Step 1: Start with one large lemon cut it in half and then squeeze the juice into a small container.
    Step 2: Take either a Q-tip or a small paintbrush and dab some lemon juice onto the end. Use this to write your secret message on a piece of paper or cardstock.
    Step 3: Watch as it dries almost completely invisible.
    Step 4: Now it's time to reveal your secret message. Take a clothing iron and turn it on high.
    Step 5: Slowly glide the iron across the piece of paper, making sure not to leave it long enough to catch the paper on fire. Areas painted with lemon juice will become a dark brown color revealing your secret message.
    ▶️ How lemon juice invisible ink works:
    The reason this works is that the lemon juice actually undergoes an oxidation reaction at a lower temperature than the paper turning a dark brown and revealing your message. Now, if you don't have access to freshly squeezed lemon, don't worry-you can also use dehydrated lemon juice powder it works just about as well! And there you have it-how to make invisible ink using lemon juice.

    I came here after watching KNIVES OUT....its amazing and good idea for deliver the secret message to someone special 😁😁😁💚💚💚

      The new erasable ballpoint pens do the reverse. The eraser heats up the ink making it disappear. So if you write a page and hit it with a hair dryer it will disappear.
      Then put it in the freezer and it will reappear. 😊🧊🥶

    • @BeardedScienceGuy
      @BeardedScienceGuy  3 года назад

      I don't think so, unless in a solar oven or something like that. The paper is basically reacting with oxygen (burning) at a lower temperature than it normally would. I don't think just out in the sun would provide enough energy, but it is worth a shot if you live in an area that gets pretty hot.

    • @BeardedScienceGuy
      @BeardedScienceGuy  4 года назад +3

      You either need higher heat or move the iron slower. Paper will eventually turn black with a hot iron but the lemon juice makes it happen faster. The key is to go slow enough the lemon juice has oxidized but fast enough the plain paper has not.
