Description: Today I'll be making glowing stuff again, but this time I'm going to try out a more environmentally friendly method. In the previous video, the active chemical I made was TCPO. This required 2,4,6-trichlorophenol as a precursor, which is damaging to the environment. The prep for this video uses wintergreen (methyl salicylate) instead, which I made in an edible chem video.
