Soap bubbles with antiquity attracted children, and adults. When excavations in the pompes, archaeologists found frescoes (I century. Er) depicting people blowing bubbles. This fun and now is not less popular.
Durability is the main thing that is valued in soap bubbles. This property directly depends on the correct proportion of the ingredients for the solution, so if you decide to make bubbles yourself, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions.
Recipe 1.
One of the easiest ways. It is necessary to take 200 g of dishwashing products (not for dishwashers), 600 ml of water and 100 ml of glycerin (sold on any pharmacy). All ingredients need to mix well. Ready! Glycerin (or sugar) in this composition contributes to the strength of bubbles. By the way, it is impossible to take simple water from under the tap - there will be many salts in it, and it will not affect the quality of the film. Therefore, water is better to boil and give it to cool or use distilled water. Such bubbles will be durable, although not very large.Recipe 2.
This method is more difficult - it will take more time and will require difficult components. On 600 ml of hot boiled water, you need to take 300 ml of glycerol, 20 drops of ammonia alcohol and 50 g of any detergent (in the form of a powder). All ingredients are mixed and leave it to be broken by two to three days. After that, the solution is carefully filtered and put in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Slightly tiring, but such a product will make durable and large bubbles, just like protruding on the show of soap bubbles of professionals.
