mmmm cake lol ..I bought some too but never used it yet. My advice to you is to look for pictures of actual snow on vehicles, Vallejo snow comes out like putty so you can shape it. I myself would not use this product by itself but combine it with other snow products or procedures .. ie- baking soda

I bought some a few years back and yeah, it looked like a nice creamy frosting on a cake. I think that there have to be better ways of making snow.

Thanks Mike, I'll definitely give it a try. I was so disappointed in Vallejo, I use some of their paints and I love their "mud" but their "snow" and their "water/ocean" products aren't very good.
