success!

Welp, I made a few bath bombs using the recipe I linked to a few posts down (minus the cornstarch) and it looks like they came out pretty well. I spritzed the stuff very lightly with witch hazel as I was stirring it, and once it got just damp enough that it would stick together a bit, I packed it into some soap molds I have. I popped them out maybe 20 minutes later and spritzed them again with witch hazel (to help them get a bit of a crust), but I overdid it and they fizzed a little. Practice makes perfect, I guess!

So now that I've made them, I realize that I don't want to use soap molds for them. I want to make them in spheres. I think they'd look better that way and I'd like them all to be pretty much uniform in size and shape rather than an assortment of shapes. Does anybody know where I could find some? I'm not finding them online so far...
