Filling your Halloween jack-o-lantern with green fire is somehow more fun than using the usual candle. It's safe and easy, too. Happy Halloween!

  • where do u buy this stuff?

  • @peypeyneekin grocery store or hardware store

  • @hollowpoint45acp You can, but the boric acid dissolves in the methanol so you tend to get a better display with that chemical. Also methanol and other alcohols burn with a clean blue or nearly invisible flame, so the green really stands out.

  • 25% green food coloring,

    something flamable

    and a lighter

  • @lickthatcow nah, no green food coloring. You can use boric acid or copper sulfate, something flammable and a lighter :)

see all
