kssoaper Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have this recipe for bath bombs that I used to make years ago...don't remember them being 'spongy' the next day. By spongy I mean slightly compressable. No fizzy bumps on the surface so I don't think it's a humidity issue - I use weights and measurements -9.8 baking soda2.7 cornstarch4.3 citric acid1 1/4 tsp. water3 1/4 tsp. oil (using frac. coconut oil - used to use almond - could that matter?)2 tsp. FO1/4 tsp. boraxAny thoughts would be appreciated!Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 There is a bath bomb cupcake class on this forum and the base of the cupcake (that recipe) makes awesome round bath bombs too! I'd suggest trying that one if you want some nice rock-hard bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kssoaper Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks for the reply - I'll check out that recipe...I cut my fragrance in half and that seems to have solved the spongy problem; they sure didn't want to stick together though! (I use a little meatballer). Made me wonder why the heck I even considered making these again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yeah, for some reason my meatballer ones never got really hard until I tried that recipe. They are like bricks now! Woot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Did you try cutting back on your wet also? I wouldn't totally eliminate humidity as it has been a nasty, nasty summer because of it, but I'm wondering if you have too much oil in there and why add the water if you have the oil? KWIM?
