Attaching things to bath bombs

[TheBobbiesRSurly]

Back again!

My mind is just spinning today with ideas for my bath bombs. The recipe is getting so close to what I want it to be!

I have no idea if what I have planned will actually work, but I've been curious if one can attach things to bath bombs. Things like embeds. Would melt and pour do the trick, or would a sugar scrub sort of thing work better? Or even 'frosting'?

Melt and pour attracts moisture. It sweats glycerin. And it could set off the bath bomb. ( please notice I only have experience with normal melt and pour, not the " low sweat " melt and pour)
Some sugar scrubs' consistency are quite watery, and can trigger the fizz.
And yes I have seen people do frosting and cold process soap on top, but have tried it myself. Good luck with that, or people with more experience will chime in.

SoapQueen on m&p in bath bombs

I have followed the recipe she gives and don't have an issue with it, but it is very dry by me this time of year which does make a huge difference.

There was a similar thread a few weeks ago. I think someone said potassium cocoate or similar worked as a "glue"

I have seen people putting MP, but only tiny pieces. I think I watched a video on youtube of someone that make an emoji bomb, and attached the eyes and mouth with MP.

Personally I would never put sugar on any bath and body recipe. I made sugar scrubs one tie, and they were perfect, but after I used them, I had the invasion of the ants attack in my shower.

I have seen people on the tube too adding "frosting" to BB. I think they use egg whites powder. Maybe on handmade beauty box or soap queen channels. Cannot recall.

Thanks folks! I'll check out the recipe. I think I'm also going to test out some simple tapioca glue and see if that does the trick, or if it's going to make a mess in the water.
