Re: Zima Zaps



hi albert,
i use dawn dish soap, but any kind will work, just think that all water is
held together bye positive and navagtive charged particles.  when people
want to blow bubbles they have to increase the ability of the water to hold
positive and nagitave charges. the soap increase the thickness of the water
to allow the charges to build up better and to hold more at one time. this
is my theroy on that. if my theroy is wrong at least it work to increase my
salt caps :)  good luck
