Sorry,
Sodium Hexameta phosphate does not make bubbles. It is probably hard on the skin.

Hi Ron,
One person refered to tsp(teaspoon) and Sodium Hexa-Meta-Phosphate and you have
brought T.S.P. tri sodium phosphate into the picture. I have left all the quotes
below so people can sort it out them selves. Forgive me.
Sodium Hexa-meta-phosphate can be purchased from Dharma Trading
http://www.dharmatrading.com/
They also sell batik tools, wax,canvas, and brushes.
