Just interested to know what everyone uses to make bubble mix (like for blowing bubbles)?
I know you can just use dishwashing liquid, but is there any secrets for making a good mix? Anything to add or are some dishwashing liquids better than others??
Anything else you can use other than dishwashing liquid?
Any suggestions would be appreciated! :lol:
Add Glycerine to the dishwashing liquid and water :)
Why glycerine? What does it do and where do you get it? I've tried making bubble solution just from dishwashing liquid and water but turns out crappy lol.
This is the recipe I used to use at work:
1 Litre of Warm water (warm works best)
250ml of Morning Fresh
30ml glycerine (bubble last longer)
Makes about 1.3l of mixture!
You can get Glycerine (Glycerol .. I think it is also called) in a supermarket. Cake aisle I think but don't quote me on aisles. I do online shopping LOL
:rofl: you crack me up Astrolady!
Yup either the cake aisle, or the medicine aisle...depending on how logical your supermarket is....
I was looking for this to make bubble mix the other day and couldnt find it in the supermarket, someone suggested I go to the pharmacy. They had no freaking clue too!
what does glycerine look like?
It's clear gloopy stuff - I think I actually have some here! LOL
Thanks everyone! Not sure I want to make that much up at once Shelley! :o The boy will go mad! :rofl:
How long does it last with the glycerine in it??
:rofl: just store it in a 2lt bottle and use a little at a time you goose!!!
It past for ages....at work it was used pretty quick but I've never seen it go bad...
Yeah the Glycerine is like a preservative so it helps "keep"
It is a clear liquid yes LOL.
Glycerine is usually in a little brown bottle, about 100mls or something.
I have also heard to use plain dish-washing liquid rather than the lemon/lime/added smell ones.
:spit: Ha ha ha ha... ok - fair enough! :lol::
I shall make up a batch and let y'all know how it goes! :) Thanks for all the advice!
