I''ve spent nearly a decade trying to find "The Ultimate Bubble Formula". I've done extensive experiments of my own. I have a notebook of about 35 pages that I have written down my experimental formulas that have been tested in various weather conditions and with various bubble tools and bubble toys. I've read several book, scoured the web, asked questions of the experts, and have come to this one conclusion.
There are many formulas that work, but a lot of it comes down to the weather. I will cover this on another page.
If you would like to mix your own solution, these are a few of my favorites.

My basic bubble formula 1 part Glycerin 2 parts dish soap (Dawn or Joy) 1 part commercial bubble mix 10 part water |
This one came about from much experimentation. A good basic bubble solution. |
I give this one 3 out of 5 Bubbles. |

Bubblsmith Formula 8 part Mr. Bubbles brand bubble solution 1 part Dawn or Joy 1 part Glycerin 10 parts water |
This came from: Sterling Johnson - "The Bubblesmith" This guy is a master at hand blown bubbles! Plus he's just an all around nice guy! This is the best "mixed" solution I have found for Large bubbles! Will make gigantic bubbles but the solution is heavy and they fall to the ground and usually pop quickly. It's best for what it was intended for, Hand Blown Bubbles. Not too thick! |
I give this one 5 out of 5 Bubbles! Woo Hoo!!! |
|
The Secret Formula 1 part Dawn or Joy 8 parts Water 1/4 part Glycerin Can also put double soap for bad weather days, or double the water for perfect days. |
This came from: Kelly O'Neill - Wet Rock's, Big Bubble Magic I use the same tool as described on his site for my gigantic bubbles. It works real good!... Of course I have made some modifications. **grin** He have a lot of great info on bubble weather and basic info about bubbles. Great site!! Nice lighter bodied formula. Works very well with Gigantic bubbles. Perfect weather conditions make this the best I've tired, for extra large to Gigantic Bubbles!! |
I give this one 4 out of 5 Bubbles! Whoot! |

Seattle Bubbleman Formula 1 part Dawn or Joy 15 parts Water |
This came from: Gary Golightly - Seattle Bubbleman I tried this one and really wanted it to work for me. It works well for smaller bubbles. Medium bubbles poped quickly. Large bubble sometimes poped before closing. Extra large bubble poped in film stage. |
I give this one 2 out of 5 Bubbles. Sorry Gary, I guess it's just not humid enough where I live. |

Bubble Fairy Bubble Powder 1/2 C BFBP 4 C Warm Water |
This has become my favorite bubble solution!! It's the best all round solution I have found. This is the easiest solution I have worked with. I use several different dilutions for different types of bubbling. I use a thiner mix for Gianormous bubbles. and a thicker mix for handblown and sculptures. I like this formula so much I have decided to put my name on it, Bubble Fairy Bubble Powder. With permission offrom the manufacurerl, of course. So congratulations, you can go right over to my order page and pick some up right now. You won't have to go through the phamacy looking for glycerine!! |
This gets a big fat 5 out of 5 and my name on the lable. Experimentation is good!!
