Global Special Effects Labs are constantly inventing and reformulating solutions in order to improve the
snow from the T-1400 “The Quiet Snow Machine”. Please contact Global Special Effects at (256) 229-5551for
more information. In order to prevent operation problems and observe the Warranty guidelines, always use
a Global Special Effects approved solution. The FG-100 Snow Solution is available as a Pre-Mix and
Concentrate. You will have to pour the ready-to-use solution into the plastic bottle that comes with the
T-1400.
FG-100 Evaporative Snow™ Pre-Mix (Recommended)
Global Special Effects Pre-Mix solutions are designed with the highest grade of available water based
surfactants. The surfactant-based solution is mixed with de-ionized water to leave no residue when using
the snow machine properly. The use of de-ionized water is necessary to create a bright fluffy snow flake.
Global Special Effects Laboratories have researched and developed the driest available snow solution on
the market today. FG-100 Pre-Mix Gallon Weight: 9.8 Pounds.

Global Special Effects Labs have designed a concentrated version of FG-100 in an attempt to save shipping
cost to our customers. The ratio mix for this snow solution is 8 oz. of solution per one gallon of water. It is
important to remember that the kind of water used will affect the quality of snow. The recommended water
to use is de-ionized water. This form of water has no minerals, hard properties or chlorine. De-ionized water
is the base ingredient in our formulation, because it makes the best snow and leaves no water stains. It was
originally used for the movie industry, so if the snow landed on a camera lens, it would not leave a water
ring. Since this formulation has no chemical, it dries and leaves no film. Be aware that if you use tap water, it
may have hard agents that can cause poor looking snow. In this case, order FG-100 Pre-Mix. The use of tap
water, city water or well water can be used with the following warnings: Certain tap waters contain high
mineral content and will produce a minimal amount of snow. These minerals will not produce a bright white
flake.
See chart below (Chart 1) for some examples of common water/solution ratios. Please read before mixing
this product with water. Make sure you adhere to the mixing proportions.
Warning
if you mix water with FG-100 Pre-Mix (non-concentrate), you will not
be able to generate snow.
