1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons cream of tartar

2 cups Joy dishwashing liquid
6 cups water
3/4 cup white Karo corn syrup
Combine, shake, let settle 4 hours. Store covered in refrigerator to extend suds shelf life. Allow to warm before using. Must use Joy.
Bubble tips: Don't stir wand in suds to avoid foaming. If foam develops, scrape off with stiff card. Keep suds clean, avoid dirt, grass, bugs, etc. 9 x 13 cake pan or pizza pan works well. Bubbles work best on humid days. Sun weakens suds.
