handyandi Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 +1 that Powder extinguishers are a laxative, also any fine powder is an fire risk, we have a flour mill nearby & they have had quite a few explosions in the past. Having had to use a powder extinguisher many years ago the mess was phenomenal. Cirque du Soleil created a beach using cork (on Crisis control programme on Quest channel about a month back). Even that had to be set to a specific moisture content for dust control using a pretty ingenious method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Edwards Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Another reason to avoid talcum powder is one of its uses is as a dry lubricant. On a related note, if you would like to create your own ice rink simply spread a couple of bottles of talc on your stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombrown Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I would recommend the plastic snow particles, this should show up better and be a much easier clean up. From personal experience, sand can be a real pain to clear up and be damaging to the floor. I worked for a venue that wanted a beach theme, so they covered the dance floor in sand. Needless to say with a few hundred people throwing some moves, the sandpaper effect kicked in and the floor was due a varnish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I remember a community group that held a halloween party which degenerated into an icing sugar fight, the floor needed sanded down and revarnished afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If you look at snow, give snow business a bell they will have a whole WORLD of ideas and particle sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
