Decorative & Novelty Applications

Soil Moist has numerous uses in addition to horticulture and agricultural applications. Use for fresh and silk flower arrangements, decorations, centerpieces and ice/heat packs.

Decorative Applications:

The "purer" the water, the larger the crystals will grow. Distilled water is the best.

1. Add 2 tablespoons of Soil Moist into a 1 gallon container of distilled water
   (or use 3 tablespoons of polymer into 1 gallon of tap water)
2. Let the crystals sit and hydrate 3-4 hours.
3. For faster results, use hot water.
4. Drain any excess water.
5. When the polymer has finished hydrating the appearance will look like chunks of ice.
6. For colored crystals add food coloring to water, then add polymer.

Fresh and Silk Flower Arrangements:

Soil Moist polymers are ideal for use in fresh flower arrangements in a crystal cut vase. Mix the polymer according to the preparation instructions listed above. Allow crystals to completely hydrate in a separate container before adding to a vase for floral arrangements. Do not use for fresh cut roses.

Floating Objects:

Soil Moist polymers make a beautiful centerpiece. Simply fill a glass container (such as a brandy snifter) halfway with the hydrated polymers. Add a candle and place on a mirror for extra shimmer.

Ice/Heat Packs:

Soil Moist polymers can be used as reusable ice or heat packs. Mix the polymer according to the preparation instructions. Allow crystals to completely hydrate and place in a plastic baggie (e.g. zip-lock or heat sealed). Place the baggie in the refrigerator/freezer or microwave for desired application.

Cleansing Soil Moist Crystals:

If your polymer crystals become discolored or cloudy, simply empty into a colander or strainer and thoroughly rinse with water and drain before reusing. Do not dispose of product through drains.
