Hi Tammy,
The following site has a good "recipe"for the clock reaction. Have done it and it works well - bit of a practice is a help.
Cheers

We've done the clock reaction and it's been HUGELY successful :thumbup: . One of the tricks is to have the sodium metabisulfite really fresh. Go out and buy some fresh from your local homebrew shop. I'll dig up my recipe and post it.

Cheers, K 8-)
