If you have a light scribe etcher then you should be able to just mix it with water, place on the disc to dry and then etch it! This is how it works with graphite oxide at least. I'm hopeful that activated charcoal will also work. Both are carbon and water soluble but act carbon has more surface area. Best of luck. Try to make a graphene ribbon antenna. You can put voltage into it and test with voltmeter. Good luck
For the water process the instructions involve gluing plastic to the CD, I'm just wondering what kind of plastic and how sticky does the glue have be (somewhere between post-it note glue and held together by the hand of God). Just don't want my first attempt to be my last too
There's mention of a grapene-based film on a sheet that I'm going to try to source. Noting the project ideas too, thank you

Managed to source some activated charcoal at the drug store
Any suggestions on what to use as a glue?

My understanding is that the graphene is made by shooting an infrared pulse laser at graphite oxide powder mixed w water on a substrate.
Another test is to generate hydrogen gas by using a laser in activated charcoal water.
