    Cool Gellibaff help!

    I recently got some gellibaff to use in the paddling pool in the garden. It worked great today, everyone loved it but it doesn't seem to be dissolving fully!

    Is this what is supposed to happen? I put in the whole sachet of gellibaff and used the whole sachet of 'dissolver' to dissolve it and it's sort of half-dissolved!!

    What do I need to do?!

    Thanks x

    It says on the packet that it doesn't fully dissolve but leaves 'some residue' (or words to that effect. I chucked more water in so it was runnier, emptied it into a bucket and poured it down the plug....

    Hello I'm back now! Last mindee just gone.

    Thanks for all the advice I think we will go for the watering down and in the drain option.

    We will have our tea first though, we are all exausted after 2 hours of water fun, we all got soaked and cooled off!

    Sally if the drain blocks can I send the bill to you?

    Yes it might make the bin smell a little better but I wonder what will happen as they tip the bin on the bin lorry
