Does anyone know any good recipies for making my own chemlites?
Are chemlites the glowing tubes that you start by breaking the inner core? If so they are two parts.
-
Hydrogen peroxide solution
-
aminophthalhydrazide (luminol) + optional fluorescent dye (e.g. fluroscein) in water
peroxide oxidises Phthalhydrazide to give an excited species, which then either glows or excites dye to glow.
here is one formula
Take 1 mL of dilute (0.15%) H2O2 (peroxide) solution and add 2 mL of luminol (3-aminophthalhydrazide) solution. Observe the “blue glow” of the mixed solution for a few seconds immediately after mixing, which is best done in a dark environment. The luminol solution is made up as follows: 0.4g Na2CO3 is dissolved in 125 mL water in a 250 mL flask. 0.05 g luminol is added and stirred until dissolved. Add 6 g NaHCO3, 0.13 g (NH4)2CO3.H2O and 0.1 g CuSO4.5H2O. Stir until solids dissolve and then make up to 250 mL. If there is any problem try using a slightly more concentrated peroxide solution." from http://www.outreach.canterbury.ac.nz/hotlines/chemistry.html#chem22
adding different cloloured flourescent dyes will make it glow different colours
Ummmmmmm… OK. 
Well first of all, thank you for the reply. But is there any way you could put that in laymen’s terms?
I was really hoping for some kind of home made recipe using simple household chemicals or stuff I could snag from work.
I know my profile says I’m a technician, but thats not lab tech, its electronics tech. But still very cool that you replied scm1001 
I am sorry that there are no simple household chemicals that will glow when mixed. Life is not like the movies, where some geek mixes kitchen chemicals and makes a bomb, or flubber.
3-aminophthalhydrazide is avaliable from any chemical supply company, copper sulfate, peroxide, Na2CO3 (washing soda), NaHCO3 (baking soda) are common household chemicals though.
Make Flubber! (White glue + borax, common household chemicals by all means.)
Do you need a bomb link, too?
