Elixir of Life Potion : Philosophers Stone : Potion Prop : Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

[@h311zwh0r3aolcom]

Temperature variations will affect the pressure within the bottle. Start by soaking your alcohol bottle in a warm water bath. After you fill your potion bottle with warm alcohol, dye, and mica powder, cork it and as the liquid cools, it will decrease in size causing a vacuum effect on the cork, sealing it tighter.

[@lacymcknight5043]

I love the gold leaf on the bottom and I love how the gold mica looks in the red liquid. This is one of my favorites you have made. ❤

Andrea, you are in a such high level of perfection... Every time I see your last potion I think to my self: _ she made it, she gone too far with perfection level, there is nothing else she can do better!. But you keep surprising me every time and I don't know what else to say. You are just perfect. Your props are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. Love it!

[@rychei5393]

Pro tip, if the liquid is hot when sealing, you will have negative pressure once it cools; keeping the cork more in place.

If you want your cork to stick in firmly, warm your liquid on a water bath up to 50°C and then cork it. When it cools off it will suck the cork in.

Hello! I was wondering, as I've been getting quite in to potion making lately, if I were to use any of your tutorials to make my own potions to sell (none like yours of course! I'd have my own artistic take on them, I'm referring more to the techniques used) would I be allowed to? I don't know if I even want to sell any but before I really consider it, I wanted to ask as selling potions was a passing thought. I would give you credit in my product descriptions so people can find you and your amazing tutorials. Regardless, thank you for your magic! You are so talented and everything you make looks so authentic.

Hi Andrea! I have a few questions about doing the potions. I have bought some bottles for doing them and I realized that they all have cork stoppers. 1. Is that ok or will it need to be rubber stoppers, especially with the liquids? 2. If I do need to get the rubber stoppers, do you know, is there a universal size of the stoppers? 3. Where would I even go to buy the stoppers for the jars?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

You can use the real corks but you may find that you get more evaporation with them and if possible you’ll want to try to cover them completely with either hot glue drips or wax strips some thing like that. For the liquid potions the rubber corks work really well and you can get an assorted bag on Amazon there is a link in the description of this video which will give you corks that fits pretty much every bottle. I hope that helps 😊

[@chantalproulx7302]

Thank you so very much. It really does help! I am so excited to start doing them now, LOL! They look like the real deal and you are so amazing at showing how to make them. When I first saw them, I was in awe. I wanted make them, but figured there was no way that I could achieve that level. But then, watching your video, I truly believed that I could. I also love the way that you talk about the potion and it's meaning as you are making it too. (And I will see about getting the assorted package now. 😉) Thank you again!!

can't stress this enough, DON'T age the twine after putting the alcohol in the bottle. you litterally made a super explosive bomb and now you decide to put a hot flame to it? oneday that could haunt you forever.

[@Black-Swan-007]

Alcohol is not explosive. Flammable, yes. But it will not combust on its own. So it's not a "super explosive bomb".

[@DynastyUK]

​@@Black-Swan-007 Okay, maybe not a bomb but what you have is an even more flamable version of a Molotov Cocktail. It seems common sense NOT to put a flame anywhere near Isopropyl alcohol or it's fumes. not can't combust on it's own, that's the point, it's in a pressured bottle with oxygen and now fire. "Isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable and can easily ignite. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air, traveling to a source of ignition and flash back, and use of water spray to fight fires may be inefficient" "Isopropyl Alcohol can react with AIR and OXYGEN over time to form unstable peroxides that can explode."

[@theladyamalthea]

A wash of dilute brown paint would be a safe option.

[@tonysicily2687]

LOL, total crap It might make it a little more inflammable for a few days, but by the time it has dried ALL of the alcohol has evaporated. Geez, if you don't understand science 101, you might want to refrain from posting. "Super explosive" as opposed to normal explosive. Lose the stupid OTT titling ....

[@geoseward]

Two questions. Does it matter if what strength of alcohol that you use-the 70 or 90%. Is there a certain type of mica powder that you use?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

The alcohol percentage doesn’t matter

[@dawnmason9558]

The bottles on Amazon are unavailable!

[@sweatyfantasy138]

Are you allowed to drink this?

[@ZanyProductionz]

over time, the alcohol evaporates and/or dries out. I used it with a potion bottle with some gold acrylic paint. The paint is at the bottom of a dry sea. The alcohol is gone. Have you solved this problem???? I'd love to hear any ideas.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

Did you use a rubber cork? I haven’t had that issue. You can always use distilled water and a tiny bit of glycerin too.

[@Wesbrix]

So I tried making some of these with mica powder and dye but the mica ended up clumping together after a week or 2 it still changes color but the clumps look gross almost like a flaking worm inside any tips?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen. Did you use alcohol or distilled water and glycerin (or something else) as the liquid?

[@Wesbrix]

@@CookingandCraftChick distilled water

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@Wesbrix if you used glycerin too it’s possible you used too much and the “worm” looking thing is actually clumped glycerin that the mica has clung to. If you just used distilled water then it may be your mica just clumping at the bottom until shaken, I haven’t had this issue with the alcohol but the alcohol and distilled water behave slightly different. 😕

[@Wesbrix]

@@CookingandCraftChick im wondering if the dye had something to do with it, I didn't use glycerin maybe ill try again with a different type of dye I had to add a lot because it diluted in the water a lot

[@shannagallaher2603]

Can you use tonic water? It glows under black light and I'm wondering how that would look with this application. And what is the glycerin for?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

The glycerin is to help keep things from growing in it over time (you can also use a little rubbing alcohol). Glycerin is the same stuff you put in a snow globe. I’ve never tried using the tonic water but you could try it and see.

Hello! I am making something similar, but all the mica powder is settling at the bottom super quickly, and just looks silty and meh. Is it because I'm using 99% iso. alcohol? Will mixing in some glycerin fix it?

Mixing in some glycerin should help. Your mica might also be a slightly thicker grain than some mica which will cause it to settle quicker. But the glycerin should help regardless.
