Bubble Solution

Warmer weather means it's time to refill all the empty bubble containers. My neighbor told me about the magic of guar gum. Made a 1 liter batch and filled in 4 no spill fubbles, 3 little containers, and 1 glass jar. I tried weighing the guar gum and baking powder but the machine wouldn't register anything until it hit 2 g. Didn't really make the slurry properly so it was a bit clumpy in the end, but still worked great.

  • 1 liter warm water
  • 8-13 t Dawn (40-65 g. Starting point = 50 g)
  • 1/4 t heaping guar gum (too much is ok)
  • 1/2 t heaping baking powder (too much is ok)
  1. Make the slurry. Add in some of the detergent over the guar gum until dissolved (mix longer than you think). Add in enough water to make it pourable.
  2. Pour the slurry into the water. Stir for 30 sec.
  3. Add the remainder of the detergent, gently stirring.
  4. Add the baking powder.
