Tips & Warnings
Molds designed for bath bombs are available for purchase; however, you might also try candy molds, an ice cream scoop or even muffin tins. Make sure you pack the bath bomb mixture as firmly as possible into the mold to prevent crumbling once dry.
Depending on the climate, it may take a few days for your finished bath bombs to dry completely.
