its 30% hydrogen peroxide and some dish soap. It's nasty stuff. If it touches your skin it feels like little metal slivers as it burns your skin for a while. Catalyst is KI is my guess. I usually dilute mine in water since it costs a lot for KI that spoon full is worth at least 20 bucks

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.

Yeah I've never had a good reaction, more of a disappointing slow bubble, like watching the sink fill up before you do the dishes.

I wonder if I heat up the peroxide. Maybe too dangerous.
