    Bath Bomb Problem - UPDATE

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum. After doing a search on a soap making forum this is the place I found. I'm so sad and desperate. I've been playing with bath bomb recipes for personal use but I just can't seem to do it right. The first time resulted in these explosive warty looking...
