Making snow

:laugh:

No you have to be really careful when using these ballooms so they dont go eveywhere they are very dangerous if you inhale them.
 
I have a steamer trunk sized box of micro balloons. They are the fumed silica type which aren't the carcinogen like other silicas (still not a good idea to inhale) and they do have a nasty habit of floating around. Cleaning up a spill is like herding thousands of tiny cats.

That said, they work great for snow and won't yellow over time or attract pests since the are basically tiny glass orbs.
 
I use Woodland Scenics stuff mixed with future.
