How to get bath bombs not to rub off?

[Anthony0327]

Hello,

I am back! I made some Bath Bombs and had a question. Does anyone else have their bath bombs have mixture rub off when you pick them up? Once they dey are the supposed have a grainy feel and make dust when you pick them up? Does anyone know what I mean (LOL)? How do I prevent this?

*I should say it is kind of "Dusty".*

Thanks,

Anthony

Not sure exactly what you mean, but nothing should rub off your BB. They should be hard. They need curing time too .....

What recipe did you use?

Not rubbing but I pick it up and it is kind of dusty. I put own the bath bomb and there is powder on my hands.

well, That should not happen. Are you sure your BB was the right consistency. They can be so tricky at times.

powdery bath bombs this is what he means, Anthony, when you finish the bath bombs spray them lightly with alcohol 99% rubbing alcohol so the surface will bind , the alcohol will evaporate then

Nothing is wrong with your bath bombs, just spray them very lightly (or warts will appear) with water, witch hazel or alcohol. Should reduce or solve your problem.

water will activate them

So will witch hazel, but not if you spray lightly.
