A faster way to make bath bombs?

[chefinblue]

I have a lot of bath bombs to make for Valentine's Day but the whole hand molding with plastic cups thing is just not working anymore..too labor intensive.. Plus I don't just want to do round anymore..

So I did some research last night and came up with a bunch of vids on Youtube for speeding up bath bomb production... has anyone used any of the systems below? And I'm especially curious about the UK company that doesn't actually show how their equipment actually works..I wrote them and the guy got back to me with talk of plans and CAD drawings for the cost of 100 pounds (around $200 US)..but who's going to send money off to some stranger that doesn't even have a product you can see in action 100%, or a website for that matter. Felt like a good way to get ripped off if you ask me..

Naturally I came here to see what everyone else has come up with cause it's almost 2011 and there just *must* be a better way to do this.

Thanks and Happy Holidays everyone!

hey, that kit from Bath Bomb Business only costs $1750 :O what a steal!

seriously though, hopefully someone will come along with advice. I'd love to know too.

Tasha, I know..that's just insane! I'm sure that system probably cost no more than a few hundred dollars to make if you know how to do that kind of thing...lol..

What about something like this bath bomb press? It looks pretty cool

I've read several BAD reviews on this over at the Dish.

Thanks Tamara! I saw the one on the right on youtube and it looked awkward but the one on the left looks amazing...I wonder if I can DIY something like that?..

Carebare, oh really?..Hmmmm...

Yes, at least two people said they bought it then after months of trying and some tech support, they ended up back making bombs by hand.

And sadly, it doesn't seem to come with a satisfaction guarantee...

Also, I don't think this is the answer to your problems, but watching the video may cheer you up:

THIS is where I bought mine. I haven't tried it yet though.

I can tell you it looks really sturdy in real life and I plan on getting at them next week.

Cheers
