Hey guys!
I'm looking into freezing a model (3x3 inches) I made out of thick paper. The goal is to end up with no water or liquid for that matter at all! I found some instructions on using a fire extinguisher but I'm afraid that won't cut it… at least I wouldn't have one solid block with my little model in it…
Can anyone please please help me/have an idea how I could achieve that?
thank you so much

Re: dry ice to freeze a small model
Hello N3RD,
Are you trying to end up with your model in a block of ice? And you want to avoid wetting the thick paper during the freezing process?
If so, one idea might be to make your model from a material that doesn’t absorb water. Perhaps you could use a poster board or a coated paper material.
I hope this helps and good luck with your project. Please post again if you have more questions.
