Question 1

Is this just glycerin? or does it have other ingredients?

Accepted Answer

The original mix-your-own was a solution of water, Dawn detergent (BLUE only), and glycerin. Ten Speed Press published a book called The Great Big Bubble Book, or similar--published in the early 1980s. If bubbles break too quickly, add water, 250 ml (1 cup) at a time. Wind, dust and low humidity are the arch enemies of bubbles. I liked the old book better than the newer one. The old one had the formula, which cannot be exact because of humidity, etc. That book might have been published in the late 1970s as well. The Bubble Mix I received was a concentrate, meant to be diluted. Only Dawn dish detergent (Blue) gave good results, with the glycerin as the spreading agent. Bubble day was THE favorite lab among my high school science students. Early morning & late evening are best times. Good luck. You really can make 12 foot long bubbles.

Question 2

What do you use to blow the big bubbles? Does it come with it or this is just the liquid? Thank you

Accepted Answer

I use the Bubble Thing, it's a big red stick with a ribbon loop attached to it. You have to order that with the bubble mix to get those gigantic bubbles, and they are amazing. I bought 3 bubble things they each come with a bottle of bubble mix, and each one makes 2.7 gallons enough for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of fun. I have used another recipe also. 2T. BAKING POWDER,1/4 C.GLYCERINE( from your pharmacy),1 c. Dawn dish soap 16c.hot water mix well, and start making bubbles

Question 3

can i use laundry detergent (all free and clear) instead of dawn?

Accepted Answer

No, it won't work at all. Use Joy, Dawn or Fairy liquid dishwashing soap. Follow the directions EXACTLY.

Question 4

Which dish soap works better, concentrated or non concentrated? Should I use more soap when I use non concentrated?

Accepted Answer

Use regular Dawn dishwasher soap.  Mix 16 to 1.  That is 16 parts water to 1 part Dawn soap.  Put a tablespoon of granulated sugar into the mix.  This helps hold the molecules together along with Big Bubble Mix.  For best results buy the bubble wands available on Amazon...4 wands for about $17.  Dont mix the mixture to the point of having foam.  Slowly mix the stuff.  Best of luck.  Bob
