Maintenance - we clean our bubble trays every week- we go through many
gallons of solution. We don't have a drain, so we have our trays over carpet
which we replace about once a year or a little less. This is a pricey
exhibit, but very popular
Wands - we made our own. Two types - 3/8" pvc rod, and 1/4" aluminum rod
which we formed into different shapes. The aluminum seems to hold the bubble
a little longer, but the pvc is lighter and doesn't hurt so much when you
get whacked on the head

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.
