    you can get them from liek science class, or get a bunch of the iodine bottles, make sure its the tincture of iodine ones, not the gay type.
    then you can mix them with hydrogen peroxide, and i think then after a while it seperates them, and you can filter out teh crystals. but you need alot of iodine tincture bottles.

    and the crystals are better than teh tincture, because teh tincture is mostly water and alcohol, and isnt very concentrated. but you can get mad concentrated solutions by dissolving iodine crystals in acetone

    alright so the ink ive benn making lately is really thin and kinda streaky because of it. but idont knowif that when i thicken it up it wont make the level of surface tension highr and make it bead up on metal and really nonporous surfaces, and that not really a problem with it right now. maybe some refined bitumen??

    :edit:erghhh double post my bad

    thin it with xylene and tell me how it goes.

    i think its tar.

    ignore this cuz im not even 50% sure but i think its bitumen "or part" and u could use it for inks. or you could boil it down and dilute it with xylene "or naptha i dunno"

    if it remains opaque congrats. if it doesnt then you just created a base. haha

    like i said. i dunno,. thats what i would try atleast.
