Corn Starch?  I've known of places that use corn syrup - is that what you meant, or is corn starch truly a viable alternative?  Also if you look on-line, many " personal lubricants" apparently are used in bubble solutions with success.  We still go with Glycerin, but we wouldn't be able to find it any more if it weren't for on-line orders...
