Snow?

[Guest]

Hi guys, What could I use to make snow for a diorama?


Thanks

[monica]

baking powder / soda is a good one to use,


or bicarbonate of soda


just sprinkle over the PVA glue,

I'm with Monica! Bicarbonate of soda mixed with PVA glue is perfect for snow.


Some examples

I agree a cheep way is to use baking powder / soda but I prefer the snow you can buy , it's down to personal preference

Bicarbonate of soda doesn't turn yellow - my Jagdtiger dio is 6 years old & is still white & sparkly

It doesn't always , it can I've used it and some has and some hasn't I supose it's how you aply it I usually spray the glue on then sprinkle it's on so it could be a water thing or if it's in direct sunlight I don't know , it might even be how good the stuff is

[monica]

just some think to keep in mind with it,by the sounds

I used the Deluxe Materials Scenic Snowflakes, paid a fortune for a large tub just for a small sprinkling, maybe I'll do some more snow projects.... back on track, its great stuff

Didnt realise how many replies there were! Thanks everyone for your advice I'll take a look for the snow that you can buy, depending on price and availability, I could look at the Bicarbonate of soda idea
