Bubble wand - гигантские мыльные пузыри

Самый простой способ приготовить раствор таков: на 200 гр. средства для мытья посуды (но не для посудомоечных машин) необходимо взять 600 мл. воды и 100 мл. глицерина (продаётся в любой аптеке). Всё хорошенько размешать и ваш раствор готов. Глицерин именно то средство, которое делает стенки мыльного пузыря прочнее, а сам пузырь, соответственно, более долгоживущим.

Below you will find my formula for giant bubble juice. The Dawn Professional Pot and Pan detergent I use is not available globally. In my experience Dawn liquid dish washing detergent of any variety (although I haven't tried the "Direct Foam" types) works very well. Joy brand dish washing liquid works very well too. Folks in Europe should try to get "Fairy" brand dish washing liquid. It is made by the same company that makes Dawn and Joy, and I've heard from folks that have tried it that it works pretty well. Without further ado, my formula:


Jumbo Juice super concentrate giant bubble formula created by Dustin Skye. All rights reserved.
No warranties or suitability for any particular task given or implied.
All units of measure are US standard


1.16 gallons distilled water (1 gallon 2.5cups)= 4377grams

240 grams baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) This ingredient is only used when the cellulose thickener (HydroxyPropyl Methylcellulose etc.) is treated to be cold water dispersible. DO NOT ADD baking soda if you use K15M premium HPMC. If you are unsure whether your cellulose thickener is cold water dispersible, please do the following test: Put about .25 cups cold water into a suitably sized container. Measure about 1/4 teaspoon cellulose thickener and put it onto the water. If the cellulose thickener is wetted and sinks into the water by its self, the thickener is treated and you should add the baking soda. If the thickener sits on top of the water and doesn't become wetted, DO NOT add the baking soda. The varieties of cellulose thickeners that have been treated to disperse into cold water alter the pH of solutions they are added to. The baking soda in this formula is to correct this change.

3 gallons Dawn Pro (Pot and Pan) detergent = 384 fl oz. (Joy Pot and Pan works fine too)

Add baking soda into water (only if you are using HPMC that readily disperses in cold water), stir 'till dissolved., Add the Dawn dish detergent and stir until mixed.

32.7 grams hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) I get my HPMC from Burman Industries: Burman Industries HPMC
There are many different grades of cellulose thickeners on the market- be aware that I have only tested the HPMC that Burman Industries sells (K15M Premium) for suitability in this formula. Other types may not work for this formula at all (although they may, and they may work even better!)

27.9 grams xanthan gum (I use a food grade) (I get this from my local supermarket in the natural food section. You may omit this ingredient if you can't find it.


12.9 grams polyethylene oxide (Dow WSR 301) I get my PEO from Educational Innovations: Educational Innovations PEO



Combine above dry ingredients (carefully!) and mix them into 1.5 cups glycerin (446.93grams).
Pour a thin stream of the polymer/glycerin mix into the Dawn/water/baking soda mix while stirring the Dawn mix (a paint mixer attached to a hand drill should work). The mixture will thicken fairly quickly. Continue to mix for about 3 minutes, or until you can see that the mixture is homogeneous and that the polymers have dissolved. Use just enough speed with the hand drill/paint mixer to combine the ingredients because some of the polymers can be damaged by shear forces that are too great. Damaged polymers are less effective for their intended purposes.


The concentrated mix will settle over time.
Use about 16 to 18 fluid (US) ounces of concentrate per gallon of water.
I use a "squirrel mixer" suitable for mixing 5-10 gallons.
I mix my batches of concentrate in a 5 gallon bucket.
A scale accurate to .01 grams is required for measuring the polymers. They can be found online for less than $20 shipped. Get one that has a capacity of at least 200 grams.
The material used for the wand strings can have a dramatic affect on the size of bubbles possible.


One common problem for beginning users is tangled strings. The best way to prevent tangled strings is to keep the tips of the wands together as you dip the strings in the bubble juice, while the strings are in the juice, and to keep the tips together as you lift the strings out of the juice. It's also very important to not “stir” the string while dipping it. Straight down and straight back up works best.
Not sure which way the wind is blowing? Make a small bubble and then turn to face whichever direction it flies away to. If there isn't any wind, slowly walk backwards as smoothly as you can with the wand open. Sometimes the bubbles just don't want to form, or they pop before they fly away. This can be caused by unclean air; make giant bubbles in the cleanest air you can. Car exhaust or restaurant deep fryer exhaust can cause poor bubble performance. Insects can also be a major problem, and the only way to deal with them is to avoid making bubbles where they are. The beach at the morning or evening is great, due to the cleanliness and high humidity of the air, as well as the usual lack of insects (if the wind is from off-shore). After a rain shower can be problematic if you don't wait long enough after it stops. The fresh smell that occurs right as it starts to rain and for a while after it stops is caused by micro-organisms in the soil/pavement that release spores in large quantities. These spores (as well as some car exhaust and deep fryer exhaust) have a static electrical charge that interacts with the bubbles in an unfavorable way. Dust can also be a problematic element in making giant bubbles; avoid it if you can.
