OutlandishLady Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Well, let's just say my first foray into bath bombs was a complete and utter failure I would hazard a guess that I used too much witch hazel. It would just not stop foaming, lol. I thought about just setting it in the sink to see how big it would get but then thought I'll just hide the evidence before DH gets home. On a positive note, I picked up some "Neon" food colors at Wally World and it was a beautiful pink volcano, if nothing else. Ah well, the evidence is all but gone, only a faint lingering scent of LLC....... I think I'll stick to easier things for a while.......

Crafty1_AJ Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Did you mix in your liquids, then add the citric in last? I hate it when my bombs bomb. Bwa-hahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Girl Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Awww, you got my gremlins. And you GOTTA take pictures, it's a requirement! If I can show you bath cookies, you can show a hot pink flaming volcano.If it makes you feel any better, tonight I got bath muffins to go with the purple cookies... LMAO.You didn't have the pod going, did ya? Humm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ummm, would I make product without 'Pod? Would I? Would I BE that careless and potentially destructive?OK SO I DID! DON'T IMPEACH ME!!I left it off so I could listen for the little man. After the staples goin' in his noggin I wanted to keep an extra watchful eye on the little stinker. Of course he was too busy playing Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. Tried again this AM (WITH 'Pod) and made a much better looking batch in the Tap a Mold. I used my salad mixer thing and it blended soooo much easier. However, I think I broke it LOL! So now I'm going to go to Wally's and buy a cheap food processor. They still look a little crumbly but at least no volcano I may run over to Michaels and buy a few round molds. [ATTACH]5772[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Well *$#%!Those little ..... blew up like no one's business. Crapola. Must just be too much humidity here. Next time they're going in the oven. One more attempt and if it fails I'm going to just postpone this little project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yes, definitely keep your eye on the humidity levels. We have an instrument that measures humidity both inside and out. If the level is around 20%, my bombs turn out fine. If it's 40%, forget it, bay-bee! They just work so much better when the humidity is low.

darci Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I played around with these this weekend. Tried 3 different recipes, because you just never know what will work. I had one with warts, one that looked like bread dough that just kept rising and needed to be pounded down, a batch of half-bombs (wouldn't come out of the molds, dag-nabbit), and a couple of decent efforts. Of course, if the de-humidifier hadn't been running, I think it would have been even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
