    What is the best method to make a foamy eruption?
    Community Answer
    You could use Mentos and diet soda or baking soda and vinegar. Mentos and diet soda will likely cause the most powerful eruption.

    I think they will be the same, as long as they have carbon dioxide gas (CO2).

  • Question
    What do I use if I don't have any colored paint?
    Community Answer
    There's really no substitution for paint. You could try using markers, but they may pierce the volcano and cause damage. I would strongly recommend buying paint.

    Other sodas will work to varying degrees, but the sodas to use for the best chemical reaction are Coke Zero and Diet Coke.

  • Question
    How big should I make the tray?
    Community Answer
    It depends on the size of your volcano, but a couple of inches of tray space around the volcano should allow it to contain (most of) the mess.

    How long will it take me to make a paper mache volcano?
    Community Answer
    It will take a couple of hours, depending on how good you are at sticking with it. If you want to do it over a couple of days, just do it for an hour a day until finished.
