hi
i have purchased a snow machine for a couple of christmas parties im doing this year
i have just tested the machine indoors witha plastic bin liner over the front to catch the snow and all that seems to come out is foam
am i really being thick here or have i been given the wrong fluid or something
i thought it would produce snow flakes that were made of sort of biodegradable paper or something similar but not foam
has anyone else got the same machine
its a fxlabs professional G002ES
any help appreciated as always

Yep :muppet::D

Fluid in, paper out ... errrrrrm!

Yes, it's foam. But mounted up high it'll project what looks a bit like snow.

PLI probably will not cover you if you are using it as the floor can become very slippery. I use one occasionally for kids partyies and use it in very short bursts with at least 3 minutes between each burst. I will use it more on carpeted or bare wood floors but tiled or linoleum floor and I will not use it at all.

Horrible messy things. Same for bubble machines.

Mark, you must have had some bad experiences with them. Mine are neither horrible nor messy. Oh, and I have overhead gantry to put them on, so maybe as you don't have overhead gantry this is why you think the way you do.

(no tacky disco screens, unsightly gantrys or sparkly cloth!) Taken from your UK Disco add.

I think I'll add Snow Machine to the list!
