Forget glycerin. Really. J-lube (polyethylene oxide) is astonishingly
effective. Between 2g and 6g of J-lube powder per 10 litres of 20:1
water/detergent. Not all detergents work equally well of course, but you
already know that. 

Just look what I can do!

>> to those of you who have a large-scale bubbles exhibit:
>> I'm having a bit of a debate with the Building Manager here at BCM.
I'd like to add glycerin or a polymer to 2 of the stations in our
exhibit. I was summarily shut down with the reason that the glycerin
would cause even more problems with the pipes.  I argued that I was
talking about 1 capful at each station (one station holds about 3 1/2
gallons, the other holds about 10), and at this dilution, it wouldn't
really make a difference.

>> do you add anything to your bubble solution to give more staying
power? if so, what is it, and does it mess with your plumbing?
