Easy guidelines for trading with me:

The trader with the lower rating will need to ship first.
Delivery confirmation for both parties required. I will always send the delivery confirmation number to the receiving party, and I appreciate when the same is done for me.
Don't be a jerk or treat me like one.
Thanks!

Oh! Good way to do snow. Mix baking soda with some white glue and water. Gloop it on, then sprinkle some more baking soda over it. JUST MAKE SURE AFTER YOU'RE DONE, that you clearcoat the snow. Otherwise it'll yellow over time. Used it on my bases and love the effect it makes in person.

I do something similar with snow flocking... but there's no yellowing.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Which flocking do you use? Main issue I have is most of the snow flocking I've found is too large compared to scale.

Plus, the yellowing only happens if you dont clearcoat the mini.

In my research I saw that they suggest adding a small amount of white paint to the mix, that also apparently stops the yellowing.

Be careful of the clearcoat. We've found that all of it yellows with age, 15-20 years old, unless it's ...crap I can't recall the term.. it's de-[something]..I think.
