This
guy is a master at hand blown bubbles! Plus he's just
an all around nice guy!
This
is the best "mixed" solution I have found
for Large bubbles! Will make gigantic bubbles but the
solution is heavy and they fall to the ground and usually
pop quickly.
It's
best for what it was intended for, Hand Blown Bubbles.
Not
too thick!

I
use the same tool as described on his site for my gigantic
bubbles. It works real good!... Of course I have made
some modifications. **grin**
He
have a lot of great info on bubble weather and basic
info about bubbles. Great site!!
Nice
lighter bodied formula. Works very well with Gigantic
bubbles.
Perfect
weather conditions make this the best I've tired, for
extra large to Gigantic Bubbles!!

I
give this one 4 out of 5 Bubbles!

I
tried this one and really wanted it to work for me.
It works well for smaller bubbles. Medium bubbles poped
quickly. Large bubble sometimes poped before closing.
Extra large bubble poped in film stage.

I
give this one 2 out of 5 Bubbles.
Sorry
Gary, I guess it's just not humid enough where I live.

This
has become my favorite bubble solution!! It's the best
all round solution I have found.
I
have tried this powder several times, but never really
got the concept of how simple this could make my life.
I don't have to hunt down all the ingredients for making
this formula.
It
is made bay a chemist who is interested in the invironment.
It is biodegradable, so it is less poluting than the
chemicals I had been using.
Plus
i don't have to pay extra costs for shipping heavy containers
of comercial bubble solution, or trying to hunt it down.
shipping on a 5 gallon bucket of glycerine ends up costing
more than the clycerine its' self.
I
was working a faire, and forgot to make some solution
the night before. I had some CHBP so I figured I''de
make some up and hope for the best. It ended up being
the easiest solution I have worked with. I use several
different dilutions for different types of bubbling.
I use a thiner mix for Gianormous bubbles. and a thicker
mix for handblown and sculptures.
I
like this formula so much I have decided to put my name
on it and call it Bubble Fairy Bubble Powder. With permission
of Cricket Hill, of course.
So
congratulations, you can go right over to my order
page and pick some up right now. You won't have
to go through the phamacy looking for glycerine!!

This
gets a big fat 5 out of 5 and my name on the lable.
Experimentation
is good!!
Caution:
Fairy Rantings ahead!
It
does not take aditives well. Although I have added glycerine
and while it is still warm, and it works great! It is
very complete within it's self. It works well for deferent
types of bubbling, I use different thicknesses for different
situations.
It
does not require distilled water, although I use it
anyway. Any water will do, even San Jose water, yuk!,
works well in this formula. Just be sure the water is
warm/hot so that the powder breakes down well.
Speaking
of breaking down, since this solution is bioderadable,
it is very apparent in how fast this soltuion breaks
down. I have found it helful to mix it in small batchs
in Quart mason jars. If I keep them sealed after mixing
they keep quite well for up to a week. As long as you
don't have too many tenprature fluctuations. I actually
find that "aging" it a little actually helps
with it's performance. Although it works wonderfully
just after mixing.
