lindsaycb Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I believe I finally have it. I'd like to thank CTers that helped here and there on this one. After it all, I came up with a recipe that worked just for me!:highfive: Now my kids have to take 500 baths with the other ones. There was a point where I'd fill up the tub just to drop bombs in to see if they'd float, how long they fizzed, how BIG they fizzed, etc..etc. Such a waste, but I can't take ten baths in one day!How many of you just want to line them all up instead of the random placement on my table? The more I look at it, I do. Not enough fun colors for me...now to work on layered bombs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFCILynn Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 LMBO!!!! I know of some people who would just love to soak in a tub but then again, 10 is a bit much! LOL Your bombs look great!!!God Bless,OFCILynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Those are GREAT! I gave up on ever having actual "bombs", so now I just put the powder in a jar with a scooper and call it "good enough!" LOL Kudos to you for sticking with it to find something that worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsaycb Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 The recipe that I've settled with is2 cups BS 1 cup citric acid1 cup corn starch2 tbsp & 2tsp fo2tbsp & 2tsp oil of choice (I used ricebran & macadamia nut)3 tbsp witch hazelMix it all up in your kitchen aid mixer and mold away. They're solid for me within 6-8 hours. I've messed with other oils and consistently they work. I've noticed that between the witch hazel & the corn starch it sucks the dampness right out of them. Barely a flat spot even on my large 6oz balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiptooth Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I've been racking my brain and can't think what BS (besides the obvious) stands for. Otherwise, sounds like a recipe I'd like to try. I started out in B&B about 7 yrs. ago and got away from it and used to make them and they were big sellers but don't remember what I made them from and who knows where my notes are.TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsaycb Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 my bigger concern is when we get in the middle of summer and have some high humidty days. Is that going to make them go nuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
