If maintenance is a problem, you might consider designs which enclose
the soap films and the liquid inside clear glass or plexiglass cases.
You lose a certain amount of interactivity but splashing and
contamination of the liquid is prevented. Also, because of the increased
humidity, the soap films persist much, much longer.

Hello everyone.

 

I was curious about bubble exhibits.  Specifically I was wondering if
anyone
can give me some information on:

 

1)       Maintenance - how bad is taking care of the soap solutions, &
is
there anything we can do to ease the continual maintenance/

2)       Soap bubble wands.I know I've seen a few of these wands out
there
is some soap bubble areas.what are the tricks to making a good soap
bubble
wand that is nice, light and able to stand up to the abuse?

 

Any other thoughts on soap bubbles would be appreciated.
