I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles

What can be more fun than Webelos Scouts and "SUPER BUBBLES"?!!
Besides the necessary hot air, it is important to have the right mixture of bubble soap.

The "magic" formula is 20 parts distilled water (not tap water, it won't do as well), 4 parts Dawn or Joy liquid soap (don't get the fancy soap, just the plain dish soap), and the real secret ingrediant, 1 part glycerine.

It makes small sturdy bubbles or longer more fragile ones.

You can even make double bubbles! We tried adjusting the formula and it seemed that adding a little more glycerine helped. I've been told that instead of glycerine, you can use white Karo syrup, it is just a little messier when the bubble pops.
