Pulverized aleppo galls - 3 pounds; gum arabic - 1 pound. Put these in an earthen jar and add 1 gallon boiling water. Let stand in a warm place for 2 weeks, stirring frequently. Add 1 pound of green copperas dissolved in 1 and a half pints of water. Mix and let stand 2 or 3 weeks, stirring daily. The addition of 4 ounces of aniline blue and 2 ounces of sulphuric acid (Safety Note: Use only dilute sulfuric acid and handle with great caution!) will improve this mixture.
Very Important Safety Note: Always wear rubber gloves, a vinyl apron and splash goggles whenever you handle sulfuric acid. It is extremely dangerous! Never, never, never handle sulfuric acid without the proper safety measures! Contact the Poison Control Center and/or visit a emergency clinic if swallowed, or it makes contact with the skin or eyes. Review a material safety data sheet for sulfuric acid BEFORE handling!
