Wow! You are way too kind! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much! I needed a fan to vouch for it😅

That is awesome! I am glad your kids had fun making big bubbles!!

I am glad that your teacher thought the video was good enough to be useful!! Thanks for watching!

Same bro she put it on Google classroom so we could watch it again

Did it work? I want to try this for my little brother who likes blowing bubbles 😂

@@thatguy3213 yeah, it worked AWESOME

@@charonsfantasy you just got my hopes up, going to try this in a week hopefully 😁

You are way too kind! Thank you!!

Thank you for the kind words and tell your husband CONGRATULATIONS on retirement!!

That is awesome!

Your a dad or a mum?

@@sillypup28 dad lol

I am happy I could help feed your bubble obsession! Thanks for watching!

She’s going to love these bubbles!!

make her inside the bubbles

Thank you for the kind words!

Camping and bubbles? It doesn’t get any better than that!

Bubbles + grandkids = all the good things! Have fun!!

That is really kind of you! Thank you!

Thank you! I hope you have a great time making bubbles at the Fun Day!!

Thank you for the kind words!!

Thank you for the feedback! I am so glad the bubble formula is giving you great bubbles!!

@@BealsScienceHELP! I try both recipe at home, live in Vancouver, but it work only after 24 hours, after 7 days I found it become less thick and doesnt work, I use the cotton shirt to make the bubble wand too, I don`t know whats wrong with it, is it have some storage condition? Or I did something wrong? But if I did some thing wrong, then should not be work after 24 hours too, right? I really need the recipe for the coming annual year project for my daycare(it might raise my salary)

This is a great suggestion! Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion appreciate it I'm on a tight budget I'm going to just what I have

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching!!

@@BealsScience Your welcome Sir, I'm still watching your video, I have watched it 3 times so far.

I am happy to hear that you are having fun with the bubbles! I hope the birthday party is fantastic!!

You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment! Every time we go to a public place to make bubbles we end up with a crowd! Let me know how your alterations to the recipe turn out!

Yup. I usually have to add more of both. I live in a dry climate so I think having a bit more helps. Unfortunately the don't float as well unless there's a upward breeze. I need a assistant with an electric fan...

I agree!

Thank you for the kind words!!

Thank you!!

That is very kind of you to say! Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words!

Wow, thanks! I appreciate the kind words!!

I’m glad the video was helpful! Have fun making giant bubbles!!

Have fun!

Thanks for watching!

FYI this is US cups...

you used much more dawn??

Thanks!!

No problem! Have fun!

I am glad it helped you make big bubbles with your grandkids! Great memories!

Thank you!!

You are the coolest teacher i have ever met. Your vedios are really awsome. But sad to see how underrated this channel is. I think you can blow your channel with little planning and improvements such as catchy thumbnails and following story telling mode. Also include great reactions from people. Look at channels like mr beast and mark rober. You will get a lot to learn from them in making viral vedios. You really have the original awsome content with you.

@@joyalgeorge5651 thank you for the kind words!!

@@BealsScience Hello What is a good substitute for the j-lube and surgilube will and water based lube work please? Love the vid.

You’re welcome and thank you for the kind words!

Bubbles are fun for all ages!

Thank you!!

All of the ingredients are safe for kids to use or to pop the bubbles. Thanks!

No problem! Thank you for watching!

@@BealsScience my kiddos are crazy about bubbles at 3 and 5…this will help immensely:)

@@GrubNGas I’m glad I could help!

You're welcome 😊

No. Thank you!

Bubbles of all sizes are fun!

You're welcome!

That sounds amazing! Share the video when you get done. I’d love to see it.

I am glad it worked for you! Thank you for the kind words!

Wow!! Thank you!!!

Thanks 🙏

No problem!

Best commenter on the planet! Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you and be safe!

I hope they have a blast making giant bubbles!!

You're welcome!

There are some great guar gum recipes! I found some people who were getting 20 foot long bubbles with guar gum. But, there were two issues I ran into. 1. Guar gum is very insoluble in water so you must properly “dissolve” it in alcohol before it is effective in the bubble solution 2. Two of the guar gum recipes I tried grew small amounts of mold. So, I moved away from guar gum. Baking powder- I only tested 1 or two recipes with baking powder and one performed very poorly, the other was really good but was part of a very complicated recipe so I can’t necessarily provide much insight into its effectiveness. Let me know how your solutions turn out! I have a feeling that I will be doing a follow up video in a few years after people share their recipes and experiments!

The Guar gum beats j lube in cost, preparing time, ready to use and most importently in size. I use it for my baloons many years now,but because its part of my job for a living i ceep it for myself. Have fun with j lube 🤪

Dawn professional is more concentrated. Regular dawn will work (I’ve used it before) but you may not get quite as long lasting or large bubbles. But they will still be very big!

@@BealsScience thank you!

Hope you enjoy!

Yes. It will still work but you may not get the exact same results. But you should still get big bubbles!

Thank you!

You can definitely try KY. I would think it should work but I haven’t tried it. You can also hydrate guar gum - it takes a little for work but makes a good gel too.

Thanks 🤗

The J lube is the only water based powdered product I tried. Others should work but I can’t speak to how effective they would be. If you try one let me know how it turns out!

Store bubbles will hot work if you want to make bubbles this size.

I made my latest batch with Dawn Platinum because I couldn't get the Professional in time. The Dawn Professional is the most concentrated version of Dawn (outside of their commercial diswashing bulk packaging) so there might be a slight difference for the bubbles, but for my recipe with surgilube and J-Lube, I am confident that the viscosity of both "lubes" will counteract any slight concentration difference in the dish soap.

Your comment got made me realize that I've never shown people how to make their own distilled water! I use distilled water in just about all of my projects that require water. We have a big still that keeps us filled with plenty of distilled water but before that I had to make my own. So, I've put it on my list to make a video to show people how. But, until then, the easiest way is to take a large stock pot. Place a glass bowl inside. Add water to the stock pot (the bowl might start to float - that is OK). Place the lid on the stock pot UPSIDE DOWN. Heat the stock pot/water on a stove top over medium high heat until it is at a light boil (or simmer) - you want steam but not a rolling boil. When you place the upside down lid on the stock pot, add some ice to the top of the lid (it will sit in the concave part of the lid). The water vapor will condense on the upside down lid (because it is cold with ice) and run to the center and drip into your glass bowl. The bowl will be filled with distilled water. Does that help?

Thanks!

I haven’t tried Castile soap but I would love to try it. Any soap will work. The more concentrated the better! If you try it out, let me know how it turns out!

The solution is heavy, if you try the simple recipe I shared, the density of the solution is less and the bubbles will be lighter. Also, the smaller you make the bubbles, the easier it is for the wind to carry them away. I hope that helps!

OB Lubes for animals or humans would work but you would have to experiment a little to make sure the ratio is still the same. Animal OB Lube is a lubricant used for checking cow pregnancy and is available at a lot of farm and ranch supply stores. Walmart pharmacy sometimes carries OB Lube (for humans).

Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words! A super simple recipe is to use soap and water. Let them experiment with ratios. They can blow small bubbles with straws so make a simple bubble want with pencils and cotton string.

@@BealsScience Sweet thanks.

@@ThatTwistedLife No problem

👍

😉

We are able to find J-Lube at a local ranch supply company because it is oftentimes used for lubing the instruments that check for pregnancy in cattle and other animals.

I believe it is the same!

@@BealsScience just contacted Dawn and apparently Dawn professional is more concentrated than dawn manual pot and pan. In case anyone else is curious on here. Ordering the Dawn professional

Have you tried K-lube? Amazing stuff. Available on Amazon. Better than J-lube which is 75% sucrose.

@@billbecker2982 I actually tested two different recipes this weekend. The GUAR gum recipe is by far the better recipe and it’s way easier.

Yarn will work and if it is not holding enough solution to make big bubbles you can always braid it. As far as the length? You can make it any length you want! Have fun!

I can’t wait to see it! Share pics!

The surgilube is a gel lubricant so I would try whatever is available and use the same amount as shown on the recipe. It might work just fine!

Thank you for the kind words!!!

Mix all as described.

@@BealsScience ❤️

@josephchan3486 👍

Yes! @BozemanScience is one of my hero’s!

That is a great idea! If you try it, let me know how it works!

@@BealsScience I reviewed the video again. I see that the rope did not work. I am going to try crocheting kitchen twine and will let you know if it works. The next would be to purchase 100 % cotton crochet/knitting yarn which would be a little more expensive but...

I am not aware of any substitutes but you could try Surgilube - it is a different brand and a slightly different product but it has similar properties.

I am happy to hear the video was helpful!I’ve never tried freezing it but let me know how it works if you try it out! I would recommend rinsing and drying the wand in between uses. But I’ve got some wands that have never been cleaned and they still work just fine so either way you will still be able to make great bubbles.

THC 123 Your comment is 10 mo's old, so this info may be too late! But I think what he was saying is that the "other" recipes he tried would mold, but not these, which is part of the reason he liked these recipes. Other recipes tell you to add sugar or corn syrup instead of glycerin or along with the glycerin. And those of course would mold and draw bugs. I've been making these bubbles for decades... Slightly different recipe than his, but never with sugar or corn syrup. He's right about leaving the bubbles for a long time. I have one of those very old very large Tupperware storage containers (maybe 4gal?), that I keep the bubble mixture in. I have kept my bubble mixture in that same container since 1986 lol, no joke! I never rinse it out I just continue to add more bubbles to whatever is already left in there. It stores perfectly, never a problem. And he's absolutely right about being able to make even better bubbles if you wait! I might only use that mixture once a year or once every 2 years, and they still not only come out amazing, but actually better with age! ALSO, one of the best tips EVER lol, in making these bubbles is to do it when the weather is really COOL (like at the beginning of October, or late in the evening in Sept. I took these to my office one time (on the 2nd floor w/a rooftop area that overlooked a street below and made the most gigantic bubbles at night time in the dark with the street lights shining on them. They looked incredible! They were literally longer than the length of the cars, and they stayed as solid bubbles floating down the street for a very long time before they popped! (Didn't interrupt the cars). Hope you had fun with your grandkids. Just a thought, but maybe you should keep the same bubbles in the same bucket, and either make it an annual thing, or literally save them until they're in high school and do it with them again! One last note, I used just small yardstick size sticks, and the cotton was about 2 ft in diameter. If you put just a small metal washer on the bottom cotton cord, it helps a great deal to open the cotton up right away so you don't waste your bubble mixture by over dripping... You need all that bubble mixture on the Cotton so it can make a huge bubble!

THANK YOU BEALS SCIENCE for this awesome video!!!! I've been doing bubbles for a long time but I still learned a lot from you! I can't even imagine how much your students must love you! Fun fun fun!

This is a great comment! Thank you for sharing your experience with bubbles!!

Tap water will work. How much it affects the bubble’s ability to hold depends on the contents of the tap water. So it may have an effect but you should still be able to make nice bubbles!

Thank you for the kind words!! I hope you and your son enjoy making giant bubbles!!

People have reported decent results with other obstetrics lubricants including lubricants used in veterinary medicine but I am not sure what the brands were.

Any soap will work. Some soaps are more concentrated than others (less water) and the more concentrated soaps seem to work better.

The soap is super concentrated and the guar gum is a thickening agent. So, the combination makes it really sticky. Ample amounts of warm water should help wash off the soap. The fragrance is very concentrated in the soap so it will persist for a while. All of the ingredients are safe.

@@BealsScience Thanks! My grandchildren loved the bubbles!

You can find all of the recipes and instructions on my website: www.bealsscience.com/post/how-to-make-giant-bubbles I hope that helps! Good luck with your bubble making!

You can try another obstetricians lube and it may work fine.

@@BealsScience thank you!

I haven’t tested warming/cooling. It would be really interesting to know if it affects the bubbles!

@@BealsScience Oh pleeeease let me know how it goes, like actually seriously let me know. I was contemplating whether or not to share this like a greedy troll but then I figured that you spent a year researching and still decided to share your recipe so then who would I be to hold on to my little spec of puzzle. After all, if patents only lasted a max of 2 years then all of the worlds diseases would be gone and all of its problems invented away because we'd all collaborate. (Don't mind me, I watched a documentary called everything is a remix and it reminded me of how impeded we are as a people by patents and copyright. Anyways...... I know that washing machines have a minimum effective temperature where the soap doesn't work as well if the water is too cold. This then tells me that warmth activates something about the soap. I don't know whether there is a cut off point at the top range where more heat is no longer helpful. Please try and let me know puleeeeeaaaaaaass
