It is pure and utter crap.
Mix PVA glue and baking soda to a consistency like toothpaste, and spread it on the base (some people add the tinest bit of blue ink) and then dust it with more baking soda and leave to cure for a day or two. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244535/787562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244535/787562.page GMT
What it does well is give the look of melting snow because adding PVA gives it a slight transparency. If you want pristine drifts, try the baking soda mentioned above.

As Todosi said, mix it with PVA (I don't use water which makes it trickier to work with but I prefer the added bulk) and I apply it in patches to my already painted base using a toothpick.

Here is a link to one of my models that uses it as melting snow.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244535/787581.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244535/787581.page GMT
