Questions & Answers For DIY Bath Bomb- Part 6

Why are my bath bomb not sticking together in stainless steel bath bomb mold?

Sometimes it can be a little tricky to get the two halves of the bath bomb to stick together. Instead, the bath bomb mixture tends to stick to the mold. To help, add 5-10 drops of cyclomethicone in both sides of the mold and swirl it around. Then, let the molds drain on a paper towel. It makes removing the mold extremely easy! To see this trick in action, check out the Hidden Color Bath Bomb Molds tutorial. The texture of your fizzies is also important. For the stainless steel molds, you want the bath bomb mixture to be a bit more wet so the mixture holds its shape.

How do I package bath bombs?

Bath bomb are delicate, so packaging them can be a little tricky. Popular options include using small boxes, jars, and bags. The Bath Bomb Mold and Package is a great option as it acts as a mold and package all in one. If you have a bath bomb mishap resulting in bath bomb crumbles, check out the Save the Bath Bombs, Valentine Style post for a cute packaging option. Bath bombs store best in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Good options include a basement, garage, or cabinet. If you live in a humid climate, you may want to wrap the fizzies tightly in plastic wrap before putting them in a box or bag. The plastic wrap helps protect the fizzies from excess moisture. You can also pop a silica packet in the package with your fizzy. The silica packet will help absorb excess moisture. Just make sure whoever has the fizzy doesn’t throw the silica packet in the tub as well! Using a dehumidifier or running a fan over the fizzies as they dry helps too.
