Jeff,

How many hours a week would you say were spent on:
1) Cleanup of the area
2) Refilling and cleaning the exhibits?

And how many bubble units did you have?

depends on what you mean by 'how bad'.....we used to mix up 30  
gallons (think large garbage can)....seemed to do better if we let it  
sit for a couple of days - have no idea why....exhibits personnel  
hated it and everyone else loved it....

best wands we ever had were smooth stainless - hoops, squares,  
triangles....they were about 1/4 or 5/16" rod.....

good luck with the mess :)
