sockmonkey Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I can tell you what you don't want to do...put them in tin-tie bags. The same thing happened to me with a batch I made. I thought oh, I'll just make it a bath powder and everyone can see it through the window and it will be nice. It was fine at first until about 48 hours later when there were giant grease stains all over the bag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spatreats4u Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 well I have never had grease stains...sounds like too much oil to me. You can crush it up & add to salts, or milk and call it fizzing salts or milk. Works just fine. I make great bombs that work and stay together BUT with extra stuff left over I add it to make one of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I posted here looking for suggestions when it originally happened. I mixed up a huge batch and had already put some in molds. Then I got a phone call and abandoned my mix for probably an hour. When I came back and tried to pack it the mix seemed dried out or something--it wasn't packing firmly like the first batch from the mix did. When I unmolded them they fell out in crumbly pieces. I decided to "powdericize" them and put them in bags at that point. The ones I molded before the phone call turned out absolutely perfect but all the ones I made afterward were ruined.

I just add a little milk and package them in window bags and call them bubbling milk bath. They are just like the bath bombs, just in a powdered form. So far all my tester have LOVED them.Good LuckDawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Monkey Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 you sure you are putting enough of your liquid in them before forming? They will fizzle just a bit - nothing to freak out about - then form them and they'll stick together just fine (at least they do for me!

elle110 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 You can even add the liquid to the baking soda and other additives first, then add the citric acid last and you should get no fizzing. To much liquid will cause cracks and too little will cause powdery bombs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Dani Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 I was told that my bombs were to dry....soooo off to mess around, added little more wet ingred....no luck!so i gave up....gonna try the milk bath frizzies....off to test that and see the results.HugsDani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdevine Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I have been mixing mine up in a large ziploc bag (someone on here suggested it) and it can be pouring rain outside with my windows open and they turn out PERFECT everytime. I put mine on a waxpaper lined cookie sheet and just sit them in my living room until the next day and package them. I think the key to mixing them in the ziploc bag is the mixture is not exposed to air while you are mixing, so it doesn't dry out as fast as mixing in an open bowl/container. Give it a try, it DOES work,,,,,HTH I normally have about 3 oz of mixture left over and I just put 1.5 oz in a cello bag, label it and label them as "Samples". I plan to sell these alot cheaper and it gives people a chance to test before they purchase the large bombs. Hopefully it will go over well.
