“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!
