My 2nd bath bomb batch

[hobbiz]

Hi all! I tried to make bath bombs the second time but my bath bomb still had some water bubbles on surface when drying (warting I think? ).
Now after the water is gone, they looked like corals.

My recipe:
200g baking soda
100g acid citric
15ml grapeseed oil
5 drops of orange food dye.

I even mixed, molded and dried my bombs before a fan. Plz help me. I am so frustrated >.<

I recently tried my another bath bomb. This one sticked into the mold for 8 hours so its surface is quite smooth (very little holes on it). However, when I dropped it into my bath tube, it sinked into bottom and keep frizzing for about more than 3 minutes. How to make it floating and how to keep its surface smooth? :cry:

did you use the same recipe for the other batch?

 

[hobbiz]

No. Still same batch but this bath bomb was still in the mold for few hours. Strangely hah.

it may be that it isn't dry enough.
you could also add some boric acid to the recipe.

Thanks, but I would like to try basic recipe first. Can anyone tell me what is the best humidity for bath bomb making? My room has an AC and I measure about 60% of humidity but after a time, my bath bombs still wart.
