[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 343623, member: 10"] I think you are both correct! A soap will change the surface tension - but it is that same surface tension that makes bubbles round! Soaps and detergents: These help the cleaning of clothes by lowering the surface tension of the water so that it more readily soaks into pores and soiled areas. (So they would help water soak out of your boat!) Why bubbles are round: The surface tension of water provides the necessary wall tension for the formation of bubbles with water. The tendency to minimize that wall tension pulls the bubbles into spherical shapes. https://water.usgs.gov/edu/surface-tension.html [/QUOTE]
