I want to use dry ice in our wooded spook trail for a fog effect. What is the best way to apply this idea?

Answer 1

lots of small pots with about a 4 inch cube in each, then also have about 8 inches of water in each pot, typically when you buy dry ice it will include fog special effects directions on the package.

Becareful, most places require you to be 21 to buy dry ice and use winter gloves (for thermal protection) to handle the dry ice as it is about -75 Cel

Answer 2

Fog machines are cheap and would do the trick. If you just have the ice, drop it in buckets of water and hide the buckets along the trail. The dry ice will "melt" and create fog. Test it out to see how much ice you'd need (depending on the effect you want and how long it should last).

Answer 3

First make sure you are wearing thick gloves when handling the stuff as it causes severe frost burns. I have found simply adding a couple of lumps the size of golf balls to a bucket of cold water works well. The vapour creeps across a stage. If it is fanned it tends to disperse and disappear so use gravity - it moves down hill.

Answer 4

Not to apply it. Dry ice can burn anyone who touches it, it's made of the pollutant Carbon Dioxide, so any significant amount can cause respiratory distress. Buy a fog machine and liquid fog. It's messy, but not dangerous or toxic.

Answer 5

Hide small pails or buckets with water in them behind trees or bushes and drop the dry ice in. Be certain to wear thick protective gloves or use some sort of scoop because dry ice will cause INSTANTANEOUS frostbite to any skin it touches. Perhaps even freezing, which will result in a chunk of skin falling off.

Be careful, have fun....
