Subject: PUPT: smoke effects question


Hi!  Has anyone out there done a smoke effect for a dragon or such?  It is 
for a foam hand moving mouth puppet, I have 1 tube for each nostril 
connected at a Y and have it hooked  up to a plastic container to squeeze 
for cornstarch supply, then another tube going to a bulb pump for air 
supply or canned air.  Problem with inconsistency of smoke action due to 
clogging and positioning of hoses in the cornstarch container.  There are 
screens in the nostrils at end of tubes to disperse the cornstarch (and 
hopefully keep the puppet from getting messy.)

Any easier/better ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Diane
