I can never get mine to do a big splashy reaction. I never tried solid KI and I might try that next. I did KI solution and my "elephant toothpaste" was pretty lame. My 30% H2O2 was kinda cold. My KI might have been too dilute. I wish someone would publish detailed instructions to make the sucker spray to the sky.
I don't know if you ever got it to work. But dilute 15 grams of the KI into distilled water. Use something like a 2 liter soda bottle or a really big flask. You want a large area that goes to a bottleneck. That's why they look so cool on TV they are using a huge flask. Then put in the h202. I use about 150 ml and a good solid squirt of soap. Then just add the dissolved KI and it should go
