New snow

I may have just discovered a new material for snow for bases.

And beta testers out there want a sample to let me know how it works?

Americas only - as I don\'t want to blow my budget on postage only to find out it doesn\'t work - sorry.

It comes in 50 lb bags and if it works, I can separate it down into much smaller lots much like TecStar does with microballoons.

I managed to talk the contractor out of a nearly empty bag for a few tries. I\'m not sure it will work as snow yet myself and want to get a few other opinions before I shuck out for a full bag.

The guy you bought it off didn\'t look like this did he? :eek:

well there are a few simple tests to check the properties you could try..

over a plain black slotta base try gluing it with first superglue and then a test with PVA .. check how it reacts , does it remain white, does it melt with glue , does it go shiny etc etc.

also try mixing it with either resin or varnish to see how it reacts


also if your thinking of distribution check for definite what it is made of so that you know for export reasons etc...Also for just the safety of handling .. A lot of the stuff out there is silicatebased and some are safe others a bit risky.. I\'ve taken to using a dust mask when I use any fine substrates these days.. I already smoke so clogging up my lungs with Micro balloons . snow effects static flocks metal and resin dust possibly isn\'t the wisest move...

other than that keep us all posted... and if you want a UK guinea pig who is happy to cover the postage costs just drop me a pm......

good luck.

If you\'re just looking for a few others to give it a shot and see what they think, I\'ll be happy to be part of the experiment.

If Texas is close enough to ya, let me know what you\'re looking for and how I can help.

(??? Did I really just volunteer to test white powder offered through the mail by someone I\'ve never met?)
