2012 03 15 - 25:1 Citrated Water: Dawn Pro
In this session I tried out two solution 0.002% PEO (a threshold amount) and 0.02%. The humidity was 75%, and it was quite windy. The 0.002% mix was very difficult to use: closing bubbles was tricky and opening it just a tiny bit did not result in the garland-like streams of bubble that one gets with a higher amount of PEO.
As seen in the video below the 0.02% WSR301 solution (twice as much as is found in Jumbo Juice) worked well. Long tubes were possible and one got garland-like behavior when the loop was held open just a small amount.
The colors and color stability seemed the same with both wands. In this session the loop is a 32-inch top-string made from just two plies of Rubbermaid rayon finish mop yarn that had been deconstructed from 4 plies into 2 two-ply strands.
VIDEO: 25:1 with 0.02% WSR301 and also 0.011% (some bubbles are a mix of the 0.02% and 0.002% solutions)

Temp: 63F; Humidity 45%
Bubbles did not last as long as I would have expected and long tubes weren't possible. There seemed to be small flying bugs that might have been a problem. (It was a warmish day after a few days of rain.)
