I did my first run of bath bombs this evening using these instructions pretty much exactly as given.
  • Roger had to look all over to find me the Borax. He was quite amused when he had a "20 mule team" in his car
  • For dye I used McCormick Neon! Food Color & Egg Dye in green. I just used one drop though because it is radioactive green and I didn't want to scare people off. This was nowhere nearly enough though. Next time I will up this amount considerably.
  • The oil I used was jojoba.
  • I did use 1/3 c epsom salt, but did not seem to need extra oil.
  • The scent was a mixture of 1/4 tsp each of Sweetcakes fragrance oils in Apothecary Lemon Verbena and Fresh Grass. In the liquids, before final mixing I wasn't thrilled, but after I made them up I kept thinking how much I liked it.
  • made 5 60 mm bathbombs with very little left over

So bath bombs are drying on cookie sheets now. Hopefully they should be dry enough by saturday so that I can try one this weekend.

That might be more fun, but generally people would rather recieve one of these, especially where their own bathtub is involved ;)
