FAQ'S

​What are the best mixing propotions?

​

• best ratio is 1:20. Mix 1 teaspoon of Aqua Snowburst powder with 20 teaspoons of room temperature water produces the best quality snow. 
• We recommended making your snow in smaller quantities to get the best batches. Aqua Snowburst® powder expands 100 times its original volume. Just a small amount of powder is needed to make an impressive quantity of snow.

​How long does the hydrated Aqua Snowburst® last?

​Your Aqua Snowburst® will start to dehydrate after a few days due to evaporation. To keep it looking fresh and fluffy Just spray the top of the snow with water and fluff it with your fingers. You can also let the snow completely dry out to use it again. Just spread it in a thin layer and leave it uncovered for 7-10 days (depending on the humidity in your area). The dry form of Aqua Snowburst® powder will last forever!

​Can Aqua Snowburst be coloured?

​Yes! Just add a few drops of food colouring to the water before mixing it with the Aqua Snowburst® powder to get colourful, confetti-like snow!

​Can you throw Aqua Snowburst in the bin?

​Aqua Snowburst® is easy to clean up and can be disposed of in the bin. Just brush the surface clean or use a vacuum to pick up the snow, while it is hydrated or dry. Do not dispose of wet or dry Aqua Snowburst® down the drain, as it will soak up lots of water and potentially clog your pipes, however Aqua Snowburst® powder is a non-hazardous, non-toxic, environmentally safe polymer.

​Does Aqua Snowburst melt?

​Aqua Snowburst® will not melt since it is not really frozen water. However, the water can be released from the superabsorbent polymer by adding salt to break apart the polymer chain. The addition of salt destroys the water absorbing properties of Aqua Snowburst® forever.

​Why does the snow feel cold to touch?

​Since Aqua Snowburst® is almost entirely made up of water, the water is bound to evaporate… this process of evaporation produces a constant cooling effect. That’s why it’s so much fun to touch! try putting it in the freezer for an hour for a realistic snow experience!

​Is Aqua Snowburst safe to use outside?

​Yes! Aqua Snowburst looks so real that it is used by special effects artists in movies for outdoor scenes without damaging the plants and grass. Sprinkle the hydrated snow on evergreen trees to produce a realistic snow effect. In fact, the water absorbing properties of the snow are actually beneficial to the plants. Aqua Snowburst® can be very slippery when wet. Use special care to keep the snow off of any walking surface.

​Does Aqua Snowburst have to be on a special surface?

​No, Aqua Snowburst® can be used on almost any surface except untreated wood. You might want to perform a surface test with a small batch of snow before covering the entire area, just to be sure. Surfaces that are ideal include tile, plastic and glass. Aqua Snowburst® will not stain fabric, but normal care should be taken when applying this water-based material.

​​Is there more than one Aqua Snowburst on the Market?

​There is only one Aqua Snowburst® as indicated by that “circle R” thing. The name Aqua Snowburst® is a registered trademark of IGRO MAGIC LTD. (Trademark Registration #UK00003296124). But that hasn’t stopped the knock-off companies from branding their own versions of a snow polymer. Our favorite knock-offs are the companies who believe that Aqua Snowburst is the same superabsorbent polymer found in a baby’s diaper. If this were true, every time the baby went potty, the diaper would erupt to an enormous size and explode! Might be a great way to potty train the kid, but it’s not the same as Aqua Snowburst® polymer. Aqua Snowburst® is a unique polymer that instantly ERUPTS when it comes in contact with water. The knock-off “snow” companies tell their customers to “…add water and stir the mixture for 20-30 seconds to make snow.” All you have after 30 seconds is a tired hand and a cup of baby nappy goo, which feels like gel.
