Best Answer

Making disappearing ink requires some chemical compounds that may not be readily available at home. Making blue disappearing ink requires .10 grams of thymolphtalein, 10 milliliters of ethyl alcohol, 90 milliliters of water, and 20 drops of 3M sodium hydroxide (or 10 drops of 6M sodium hydroxide solution.) Start by dissolving the thymolphtalein in the ethyl alcohol. Then stir in the water. One drop at a time, add the sodium hydroxide until the solution turns dark blue. Store the ink in a sealed container until you want to use it.

lol this hearkens back to my child hood .

the method i used was a very simple one

i just squeezed the juice

out of a lemon and to write dipped a small brush like the ones used in miniature painting. to write on paper.

the juice sokes in.

waight for it to dry

and to revel it just hold it up to a heat source. like a light bulb. dont use a halogen bulb or enny thing that will cause it to catch fire.

well the heat reacts in the juice(since the paper is weekend and burns faster) . and couses it to brown. thairfor reveling the mesage that has been writen

**** Warning do not over do the heating as the paper may catch fire****
