Description
Fuller’s earth has been used extensively for many years in the motion picture industry for a variety of applications. From make-up, wardrobe, and set dressing, to special effects. In the area of special effects, it can be used in pyrotechnics explosions and dust clouds, because it spreads farther and higher than most natural soils, resulting in a blast that looks larger, and is safer than naturally occurring soil should the blast spray hit actors. It was used in the tornado sequence in The Wizard of Oz as the artificial twister ploughed its way toward the farmhouse. Fuller’s earth is also widely used by the make-up, props, wardrobe, and set dresser departments, because it is considered a “clean” dirt, safer to use around people, and it cleans up easily. Well worded by the good folks at Wikipedia.
Available in: Quart, Gallon, and 50lb. bags.
