I expect the wand to make bubbles, but I’d test this version before moving the circles closer. The ridges and grooves are intended to retain solution; I haven’t physically verified how well they work.
The openings are already fairly close:
-
27 mm between centers
-
23.4 mm maximum opening diameter
-
3.6 mm of material between openings
- Only
0.9 mm between the surrounding solution grooves
Moving them much closer would make those grooves intersect unless I also redesigned them. My judgment is that closer spacing would mainly make the head smaller, rather than reliably improve bubble production. Test whether all seven holes hold a film after dipping, then whether they release bubbles with a gentle wave.
SLSA can be a bubble-mixture ingredient, but I wouldn’t promise an excellent wand solution from it alone. Assuming yours is sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, it is a foaming surfactant used in bubble baths. That supports trying it, but bath foam performance doesn’t establish how well it makes free-floating bubbles.
Manufacturer information
Research on bubble solutions shows that the balance matters: more surfactant isn’t necessarily better, glycerin can reduce evaporation, and small amounts of suitable long-chain polymers can help films stretch. Those findings don’t establish a tested SLSA recipe for this wand.
Bubble-solution research
Handle dry SLSA carefully: avoid breathing the powder and protect your eyes; the manufacturer recommends goggles, a dust mask, and gloves.
Handling guidance
What brand/product is your SLSA, and does its label list an active percentage? That will help me suggest a sensible small test batch instead of guessing the concentration.
