So as usuall I have been reading to get some more understanding. First I have for a year been reading about making bubbles, recepies, comments and so forth. People are divided about the usefullnes from baking soda and citric acid. Maybe this is knowledge known already somewhere, just something I have missed. What I have found out is that some forms of cellulosa need a more suitable water, around pH 5, to accept the water better. By adding baking soda I guess that will change the water a bit again to make it more stable for bubbles. This might be why some people say its working better with and some say better without I guess. Depending on what kind of Cellulosa they have, or sometimes maybe think they have. Its all about how its supposed to be used I guess. what qualities thats needed.

My cellulosa, after reading, I guesss is one of the kinds thats been processed and therefor isnt as potent as others. I need around four times more of the glue cellulosa to get close the same texture as, what I once more guess, is something like Natrosol, and still it will not be as slimey.

In a few days Im putting in a order for some Natrosol and then I will know for sure when that arrives. I will probably go for some Guar Gum as well and I got a tip on where to actually find som Agar Agar in a local store so will have to check that out.

Bubble On =)


Edit:

After writing I wanted to test one thing out thats been in my thoughts about one thing and I so far got it confirmed.

By only adding Citric acid, a small amount, and then blowing bubbles the bubbles tend to break easier, they also stick and dont release from the wand so they get big. By adding a little baking soda at the time to the bubblejuice the bubbles started to get more slimey and instead of sticking to the wand becoming bigger bubbles they started to flow out and release one after each.

If someone have cellulosa it would be fun to hear your thoughts about this after you try it out. :)
