Q: Can you re-use the Insta Snow powder after it dries up? Does it turn back to a powder form when it dries up?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: If I want to put it in a clear vase with water, would it still look like snow?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: as part of my science fair project i was wondering where i could find information on why oil and gatorade don't have the same effects on the insta-snow powder?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is this snow safe to use outdoor for decoration purposes? Or will it melt?

Q: If I want to prank my friend by covering their front lawn with it, would it be hard to clean up? Should I stick with their driveway instead?
A: When it rains, you might see some snow form again as the powder expands again. Insta Snow is reusable, but the chemical reaction will break down over time. The manufacturer doesn't recommend using a leaf blower to disperse the snow because some might get inside of the leaf blower, expand due to dampness, and could damage the leaf blower. If you needed to clean it up, you could try a broom. Insta Snow should not harm the grass or plants.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is IntaSnow slippery like real snow? I am considering covering a small backyard lawn area and making small hill for little children to sled on, would this work?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: How cold is this insta snow? would it be as cold as real snow? if it's not, can i use chilled water for the effect? and would it keeps cold?

To cool it off for a short period of time, you could also try putting your Insta Snow in the freezer.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I put instant snow on silk palm? Could you garantee that it will not damege the palm? How can I clean it then?
A: While we don't think it's likely that you'll damage a silk palm tree with Insta Snow, we recommend spot-testing a small area before spreading it over the entire tree. In general, you can just brush off or wipe away the Insta Snow when you're done.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can you please find some way to tell us what chemical it is made out of? Our class wants to know! We want to try further experiments with this chemical. We will not mass-produce this or anything.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What do you do with the Insta Snow once your finished with it. You say it is non toxic...is it biodegradeable?
A: We contacted the manufacturer and they said that a number of people use Insta Snow on their lawns down in Florida, and that the snow eventually does disappear. They also said that it can be good for the soil, as it helps it retain moisture for a time after it has "disappeared".
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: can fake snow powder be used with fans to create a snow blizzard scene without causing irritation in eyes, skin, throat? is it light enough to blow around?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I put the InstaSnow outside in my front garden areas and leave it there all during the holiday season? Will it withstand the rain and cold and sun, etc? Or is that not a feasible thing?
A: That would depend on how much sun and rain you get (not to mention wind!). We've heard of people who have had success maintaining Insta Snow through most of the holiday season. They periodically spray it lightly to keep it moist. Eventually, though, your Insta Snow will disappear into the ground (as people walk on it, and as it gets either much too wet or much too dry).

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: i will use it outside in southern california, however how will it act with rain?

Q: I make window displays for work, would this be good to put in there for a window display, even if there's almost no ventilation? It's inside a little cubby like window.
A: The Insta Snow would be OK without ventilation. Depending on the humidity, you can watch it from time to time and, if you notice any drying, can occasionally spray or mist water on the snow to keep it “plump.” But without ventilation the snow probably won’t dry up very much. Ventilation would speed up evaporation.

Q: If I place your fake snow on the carpet, will it get it wet? If I make the snow before I place it on the carpet?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: how do you make it

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: If you use colored water to make it, will it take on the color of the water?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is it biodegradable? I was thinking of throwing this instead of rice/birdseed for a wedding.
A: Yes, Insta Snow is biodegradable. It won't hurt the ground and it is actually good for soil because it retains moisture and the ground doesn't need to be watered as much.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: if it falls onto a candle will it burn or set a light?
A: The manufacturer does not believe that Insta Snow would catch on fire because it is basically water once it has been fluffed up. They recommend keeping flames away from the Insta Snow as you should keep a flame away from nearly all things!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: what happens when you put it in the refridgerator or freezer?
A: If you put Insta Snow in the refrigerator or freezer it will just get cold. Insta Snow contains chemicals that react to water, but it is not going to freeze into a solid block like real snow would.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I accidently added too much water to my Insta Snow! Would it still dry up and can I reuse it?
A: You can sprinkle some additional Insta Snow powder on it and that should help. Or you can simply let it dry out and it should go back to its original form of powder. This might take a week or so if you really over watered it.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: You stated water can be added AS it dries to keep it moist & 'reuse' it, but what if it completely dries up (returns to the original state)? Can it be used several times?
A: Insta Snow can be used over and over.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: can you use instant snow outside?
A: Yes, we have heard of people using Insta Snow outside. How it fares depends on the weather. Lots of rain may turn the Insta Snow into a more gel-like consistency, while lots of sun may dry it out.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: if you use warm water will the snow be warm?
A: The manufacturer recommends using room temperature water when mixing your Insta Snow powder. The warmer the water one uses (but don't make the water piping hot), the faster the reaction, but the snow won't feel warm for very long.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: how do you make the snow
A: Add water.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I used Insta Snow with my son and immediately had a burning sensation in my throat after mixing insta snow. Is there a chemical irritant in this product? Has anyone else experienced this?
A: The chemical itself has been determined to be non-hazardous by 29 CFR 1910.1200 (OSHA Hazard Communication Standard). We have experienced the issue you described, though. If you take a deep breath and accidentally inhale some of the instant snow powder (which is easy to do when you're pouring it and it puffs up in a small cloud the way that flour and sugar often do), you will find that it can dry out your eyes, nose, or throat. That's because the Insta Snow is absorbing the moisture to try to expand. It may burn for a little while, but adding water helps.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: My friend and I bought something like this at a convenience store in these little tube things, and poured Cocaine (energy drink) on it and it worked and turned red. Will this happen with this product?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is it cold like real snow?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Can I use a hair dryer to dry Instant Snow faster making it go back to its normal condition?
A: While we haven't tried this ourselves, the manufacturer informed us that you can't speed up the normal drying process with blowing air or heat. The Insta Snow drying process has to do with the humidity in the air.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: "What is it made of" should be answered - it is made of a low-cross-linked sodium polyacrylate. Diaper polyacrylate is cross linked and will gel, while Insta Snow grows faster and has small particles.
A: Yes, what he said.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What happens if you pour the wrong amount of fake snow powder?

Q: If I put InstaSnow in a flower vase, will it harm the flowers? Will it keep the flowers hydrated for a few hours?
A: While we've never tried it, Insta Snow is not too different from some of the super-absorbent commercial gels and crystals that many people use for their plants. It would probably work. If you decide to experiment with it, please let us know how it turns out!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Insta Snow powder may be the answer I have been looking for. I now live in Florida, and sure miss having a white Chritmas. I want to cover my lawn completely. Will this work?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is it safe to cover the carpet with... or will it get stuck in there when people walk over it?
A: Because Insta Snow is a bit moist, it could potentially get your carpet wet as people grind it in by walking over it. We'd recommend using some kind of floor covering under the snow or restricting its use to areas people won't be walking.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: if insta snow has started to reduce in size can I add more water to get it to plump up again. If so how much?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: You say that Insta Snow will disappear. How will it disappear? Will it break into crumbs, simply vanish..?
A: That depends. If you use Insta Snow on the ground, it will eventually be pushed into the soil by real rain or snow. After a while, you won't see it on the ground anymore. If you were to use the fake snow in a bowl, though, it would eventually dry up and return to roughly its original size. In that case, the Insta Snow would not disappear.

Q: how much insta snow would it take to snowboard on it and could i mix it with a product called snowjell to make it easier and smoother to snowboard on?

But the manufacturer tells us that Insta Snow has been used in some indoor ski parks, so it's certainly something you could snowboard on. Check out our Insta Snow Calculator above to figure out how much Insta Snow you would need to cover your snowboarding surface.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: how are the snowballs with this fake snow?
A: At room temperature, Insta-Snow is like a light, powdery snow, so it is not easy to make a good solid snowball with it. However, if you place Insta-Snow in the freezer for a while, it will thicken up a bit and make for better, but still not perfect snowballs.

Q: Can I make a snowball with Insta Snow?
A: It's not as easy to make a snowball with Insta Snow as it is to make one from real snow, but it can be done. You'd need to put your fake snow in the freezer for a while to get it to a consistency that you can work with. At room temperature, it's more like powdery snow.

Q: If you don't have a vacuum handy, how do you clean up Insta Snow? ... like after a wedding reception? How difficult is it to get off the tables and floor if it gets 'danced' on?
A: If you don't have a vacuum handy, you can get most of the Insta Snow up with a broom. The rest should wipe away pretty easily with a wet cloth. If you're dealing with carpet, though, you'll almost definitely need a vacuum to remove your fake snow.

Q: How safe is this for pets? I have a cat who likes to eat everything, and while I would try to keep this away from him, he'll likely get some at some point anyway.

Q: I am considering using InstaSnow artificial snow instead of birdseed as we are leaving our wedding reception. Would this product be good for this use
A: There are a lot of great ways that you could use Insta Snow fake snow in a wedding, but we don't recommend it as a replacement for birdseed. It's a bit moist (like real snow), and it has a tendency to stick to clothing and hair. It won't brush off easily like birdseed. On the other hand, Insta Snow powder would be great for decorative purposes or on children's tables at a reception (it's non-toxic).
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Is Insta-Snow flammable? I was considering using it as a base for a candle in a vase. Would it work?
