Attempting to make a ferrofluid

In this video, I'll be attempting to make ferrofluid from the ferric chloride and ferrous sulfate that I made in a previous video. At first, I thought that this project would be really straightforward, but it turned out to be much more difficult than I thought.

I am going to be working more on this project, and I hope that soon I'll have an easy method to make it from relatively easy to get chemicals and supplies.
