[QUOTE="pictaker64, post: 252992, member: 18065"] Couple of hints..you need it calm,real calm...dont make the bubble too big or it will poof out and just fall apart..I was getting a few around 2 inches across,after three it was too much for them.you can watch them freeze as they go.I also caught the bubble after I made it and turned the stick so that it was upright on it.after it froze I placed it on some fresh snow that was powdery so it hid the stick some,the rest I could clone out.I read up on it and it was suggested to thicken the bubble stuff with sugar,corn syrup or corn starch.I tried sugar and corn starch and it helped for sure.you will still get a lot of poofs but some stick around enough for pics.I also set up into the rising sun to take advantage of the light...it was pretty cool,although the wife thought I was crazy getting up to do it...:) [/QUOTE]
