Ideal for food spreads which call for a "bed of ice,'' such as seafood or when photographing bottled and canned beverages. Add water to these high absorption granules to simulate the look of crystal-clear crushed ice. The size of the ice chunks is controlled by the amount of water used- chunks can be between 1/2" to 3/4" size if needed. While the results are realistic to crushed ice, Crystal Ice is not recommended for use in drinks. The 6 oz. bottle produces up to 4 gallons of crushed ice.
