Hi Trout,

I did try dishwasher liquid but I need to use air to mix. The dishwasher liquid is a bit sloppy (even highly concentrated) and doesnt stand up and last for the 10 or so minutes I need the foam to last for.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

A packet of Persil in the Town Hall fountain works pretty well.

Try adding glycerin or corn syrup to the water and detergent mixture to make the bubbles last longer. Mix it all together slowly before foaming it.

I'll give this a shot over the weekend. Cheers

Have you thought of contacting a supplier (ideally wholesaler / manufacturer) and asking for a sample?
If you are doing some kind of R&D and there is a significant volume potential out the other end... then 200ml won't even be a problem.
Be creative.
I used to know a sales bloke from Nufarm... but he moved on years ago.

Would tennis court line marking stuff work?

I didn't think of this but I did consider the penalty line marking spray referees use in soccer;

It seems to vanish a bit too quickly
