“At -25C/-13F, soap bubble mixtures freeze faster than they pop, making for some very fascinating effects!”
“However, frozen bubbles are still very fragile creatures, so I’ve experimented with different recipes to create a durable bubble wall that won’t pop in the slightest breeze: dish soap for the bubbling, corn syrup to thicken the wall, and sugar to help crystallization. I let the mixture chill in the freezer to help speed up the freezing once outside.”
MIXTURE INGREDIENTS FOR YOUR EXPERIMENTING PLEASURE
– 200ml warm water – 35ml corn syrup – 35ml dish soap – 2tbs sugar – chill in the freezer
“One other piece of advice … dress warm! It’s cold out there!”
Thank you to Chris Ratzlaff for sharing his awesome experiment!
