The Quest For DIY Foam Machine Soap

[@MakeupByBeck]

I just use glycerol powder and sodium laurel sulfate powder and mix with water. It’s perfect for the FOAMO machine

[@IamSquidword]

If you ever correct the formula and patent it I want to be your first customer!! I got scared because my party is so close and spent $87 on foamdaddy foam. Still putting all the pieces together. Thanks for the follow up!!!!

[@Viera95]

$87 sounds like a great price I’ve used foam daddy before and it’s alright but not my favorite if you bought the foam gel make sure you dilute it to the 5 gallon size a day before the party I tried doing it an hour or so before the party and it didn’t mix very well. My usual go to is Foam Frizzy Fluid but it’s not as easy to get these days and it’s $200 after shipping for 5 gallons. I’m Definitely looking forward to having a good alternative. If and or when I figure out a good formula for the soap I’m gonna put it out on KZbin for free just like I did with the foam machine directions 7 years ago.

Jeffry Viera I had the party yesterday and it was a monstrous hit!!! I want to thank you again Jeff. I used your 3 prong design and it produced a ton of FOAM. Even though foamdaddy was expensive none of the young children complained of any irritation. Thanks again Jeff you're the MAN!!!!

@@Viera95 hello Jeff, just wondering if you have the perfect formula yet ?

[@pankajchakravarty8877]

Mr. Viera can you Advise after Four week i see my hand made soap sweating , it is INDIA KOLKATA humidity is so heigh. Can you guide me. Regards

If you add one tablespoon of plain white sugar per pound of oils in your lye water it will increase the density of your bubbles.

[@Viera95]

Donna Hinds nice tip I’m definitely gonna try it for the next batch.

It's crazy that the mix is so bad for you but people can play in it

[@Viera95]

Yes the potassium hydroxide is a little scary in its pure form but once it has reacted with the oils and water it neutralizes and loses it’s dangerous properties. The way I make soap in the video is actually a more natural method for soap production. Most factory made soaps use ingredients like Sodium laureth sulfate and Cocomide DEA - both are irritants and carcinogenic.

I made a machine yesterday but dish sope is just not right for it

[@Viera95]

the454guy I came to the same conclusion when I started doing foam parties. The home made recipe works and is a lot gentler on party goers then dish soap is but it dose have its flaws. Mostly that the bubbles aren’t as strong and dissipate faster. I’m still working on a solution. You can try the professional foam solutions they work great only downside is the price.

[@the454guy]

@@Viera95 the thing that sux for that is not just the price I cant find any one around here that sells the stuff

[@the454guy]

@@Viera95 queston for you tho the sprinkler ends you used in your machine what pattern are they the 360° or 90°

[@Viera95]

the454guy I use 360 pattern on my foam machines . Im in the same boat no one local dose it so you gotta pay $50 shipping. Hopefully I’ll perfect the formula. it’s a good 2019 goal.

[@starstruckt]

why can’t u just use regular dish soap and water. that’s what the guy who did who did my foam party

[@Viera95]

starstruckt dish soap works well most of the time. Just giving an alternative, some people are allergic to the scent and grease cutters or other added chemicals in dish soap. so it’s not the best option for public or indoor events.

[@starstruckt]

Jeffry Viera true that.

[@NomadGuardian]

Your over complicating this !! The foaming solution need be environmentally safe , hypoallergenic , no dyes , no caustic agents ... You clients will have allergic reaction to the lye and contamination of client's property.
