| | http://www.dryiceinfo.com/safe.htm Here are some GREAT tips for handling dry ice. EVERYONE should read this before purchasing or using it. I know for a fact, there are several mistakes I might have made that are addressed!!!!! http://www.dryicesource.com/pdf/MSDS_Dry_Ice.pdf Here are some suggestions - - Do NOT put dry ice in your freezer.
- Do NOT transport in an airtight container. (Builds up pressure and can cause the top to blow.)
- Do NOT transport using A/C with the air on recirculate. The CO2 emitted from the Dry Ice can cause you to pass out if you don't have fresh air after as little as 15 minutes.
Those were some that I wouldn't have known about.

| | We had a very hard time locating dry ice in our area (Washington, PA). I too tried the dryicedirectory.com but found most of the phone numbers incorrect or out of the dry ice business. I decided to use another experiment in place of the dry ice that would "bubble" or "fizz" over. I used baking soda, detergent, water and white vinegar. I threw in some food color for good measure and it worked out great. If anyone needs the directions for this I would be happy to supply. Carolyn |

| Carolyn, I would imagine that there will be several people interested in the directions (including me). Can you post them? Otherwise, bellsic@aol.com. Thanks!

| | The basic directions call for 1 tsp of baking soda dissolved in 1 cup of water. Add 1 tsp of powdered laundry detergent and stir. Add a couple drops of food color to the mixture and then pour in the white vinegar. The vinegar will make it bubble up. I wanted to do it on a much GRANDER scale in front of all the kids! I used a large clear glass bowl, filled it 3/4 full with water and added a couple of drops of green food coloring. I had beakers of my other ingredients next to the bowl. I explained to the kids that we would be adding chemical A (the baking soda), stir, and then mystery chemical B (the laundry detergent) , and stir. (Sorry I didn't measure but I would estimate about 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of powdered detergent) I talked about the days Bible Point and how we should be bubbling over with thankfulness. I then added the final ingredient of "Solution C" the white vinegar. The more I poured in the more bubbles/fizz I got. The amount you pour in will depend on how messy you want to get. The ingredients are pretty inexpensive and you can practice at home to make sure it will work. Good luck, Carolyn |

| | I need to get my dry ice. Where in Krogers or Wal-Mart do you find such a thing? The closest place I could find dry ice on the internet was an hour away and with gas prices I do not want to drive that far! I never dreamed I could find it so close to home! Let me know. Beth in WV

| | I could not find dry ice anywhere in our local area so I talked to the costume shop in town. They said our local Blood Bank sold it. So you can always try that too! |
