I used to whip Ivory Snow flakes and water to make artificial snow - I can't get Ivory Flakes anymore. Is this an equivalent product?

I wouldn't use this product for that purpose, it's a little pricey don't you think?

I don't know if it's equivalent but I purchased Ivory Flakes from Amazon several months ago. These would surely be worth a try and if they fail, they'll still be good for laundry.

Hello, this machine does make snow like shavings, and i also discovered that you can adjust it, but if i were you I'll just leave it as it came. I also was looking for a snocone machine like this, and i love it!!! Please don't hesitate on asking any other questions. And I'll answer the best i can.

I purchased the warmer on Amazon and the one I purchased is called the Satin Smooth Professional Single Wax Warmer. It works great. I think it was $34.95. I also purchased a container with various sizes of sticks that look the same as popsicle sticks, but in three different sizes.

I bought this for my Wife and I also bought her one that was electric. We use this one more. It works very well. But on the other hand I only use it when we are in the mood for a snowcone or when my wife wants ice to eat. I don't use it everyday. But it works great, and no problems with regular Ice cubes. The Electric one I bought will not crush Ice cubes because it gets hung up. But this one works perfectly fine.

I just did a VBS. We made 135 shave ice cups in 2 hours. One person just shaved the ice and formed it, and two others poked holes in the snow and flavored it. For simplicity we just offered 3 flavors. More flavors=more time choosing which ones they want.

Hello, Nadine. This is a coarse sugar, but sparkles. I am not sure, I guess it depends on the look your going for with the snowflakes. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Yes, I recall getting recipes in mine--though, I tossed it :) I'll bet if you ask Sunsella, they'll gladly email you a PDF of the recipes? If you don't ever look into it or they don't, let me know as I'm going to order more and will keep the next one and either can mail or email it to you :) *** update, after I sent the message here, I quickly googled to see if I could find the pdf online--YAY--I found a FIFTY-recipe link--you should download ASAP, in case: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sunsella/50-ice-pop-recipes.pdf

You may have washed it I too hot water or had bleach in the wash. I was mine on delicate and warm water and use ivory snow. It is still perfect. Patrishe

It did not work for me last winter. Before this winter I used a water repellent like Rain X and that has seemed to work better. The Snow and Ice repellent is good for shovels. I also spray it in the wheel wells of my car to keep slush from building up. If you do this be careful not to spray the repellents on your tires as it could make them slippery. Also, you can get this product at a lower price at Lowe's. Hope this helps.

Mine have "flakes" that appear on the surface of my drink if I don't wash the ice ball off before using it. I have run the molds through the dishwasher several times, washed in hot water by hand, used vinegar to wash, towel dried them and let them air dry, used tap water, filtered water and bottled water. Nothing works. The ice from my freezer does not have this issue, so it must be the ice balls. I wish I had gone with a different brand.

I would say yes. My father makes parsley tea and it traps the majority of the flakes.

Ours didn't work either. I even bought a different one at the local grocery store and need up returning it because it didn't work either. I gave up and figured you had to get something more expensive to actually get a slushing or snow cone.

A great snow tool. The metal strip will break off eventually and that is the ONLY part you can buy directly from Suncast. Eventually, my entire scoop wore out and I called Suncast to see if I could just buy a new scoop, as the handle is fine. Nope. They don't sell directly (except the metal front strip repair kit) to customers nor the scoop part.

SJES,Our Syrups are a lot thicker than regular flavoring syrups so while they can be used for snow cones, it may necessary to do some experimenting. Like Heather B said, adding the syrup to another liquid (water) might liquefy and dilute it slightly to make it an amazing snow cone topping. However this was not the intended purpose for these syrups, and they are very concentrated, so be patient and have fun with the experimenting process! Hope this helps!All the Best,Michelle MerryAmoretti Customer Service

Make sure you use real vanilla. Propylene Glycol, a common ingredient in imitation vanilla, is an edible antifreeze.
