Supplies
5 gallon bucket or larger
Hose
Shop vac or leaf blower
Corn starch
Dish soap
Water
Pool house
PVC pipe that goes on the end of the pool hose
Tools
Drill
1/2 inch drill bit
Drill Holes in Pipe
First, you want to cut the pipe to be about 2 inches higher than your bucket. Next, you want to drill holes about every 2 inches. Please make sure you do not drill the holes too high. The higher you drill the holes, the more bubble mix you will need.
Attach Air Hose
Attach pool hose to the end of the PVC pipe. You need to attach it with something strong so it won't come off.
Attach Air Supply
Next, you want to attach the pool hose to the shop vac. Then, you need to plug in the shop vac.
Making Solution
The recipe that I found that is best for this machine is 55 gallons of water to 1 cup corn syrup to 5 cups dish soap. Please note that you can cut the recipe in half or change amounts as desired. If you add more soap, you will get smaller bubbles and more corn syrup will make bigger bubbles. I hope you enjoyed this Instructable and find it very useful.
