I don't know why some do float and some don'tI think you have to whip soap to make it float. I've never tried whipped soap yet, but from what I've read you whip air into it and this is what makes it float. I've never heard of additives being added to make it float.

CareBear Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Bath bombs fizz when the citric acid and baking soda together get wet. Mine personally sink, but I seem to recall someone saying their floated - I don't know that we ever got to the bottom of they mystery of why or why not.Soap is a different story - to make a soap float you have to whip air into it. That's why Ivory soap floats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm35 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thank you guys, my daughter bought me a bathbomb from lush lol and it floated on surface, whizzing away and my ones i make, whizz at bottom, i do recall someone selling soap that floats, cant think where it was now, was just curious, thank you all.Cxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Could it be density? I know it is a common instruction to really pack your balls in tight (lmaoo) - maybe the less dense ones have those same air pockets that the floating/whipped soap has. Just a thought!?

SuzieE Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, :whistle: I will have to experiment a little more, my old recipe seemed to float more than sink, but my new recipe just sinks. I will have to pull the old one out and do a comparison. But, also the ones I make now are really compressed and get rock hard. But, keep in mind, mine still don't necessarily resemble much of a bath bomb, since I am a newbie to them and have only tried to make them 4 or 5 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Monkey Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 My balls usually sink to the bottom too. I made a batch a couple months ago and used one this weekend, it floated! I'm thinking the difference was that they've been sitting and totally dried out. I could be wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
