Hi. The globe contains water, clear glue, and a bit of alcohol. The snow is a fine grain snow that was already in the globe.

Hi. We are happy that we could help!

Hi TJ. I created two videos with the tunes. I'm not sure what links you used, however, I just tested these two links and they are both working. Let me know if they work for you: ruclips.net/user/shortsgY04FDTP35w?feature=share ruclips.net/user/shortsDtJQr-88qbU?feature=share

Hey again. I tried to click on the link that you sent, but it gave me an error saying something went wrong. Don’t know what’s going on. You could try to email me the videos and see if that will work.

Sure, I'll give it a try. Our email address is tespi74@gmail.com. Send us an email and we'll try sending those videos as email attachments and see if that works.

Hi. There are three links in the video description of all of our videos to companies that sell snow globe parts including snow. Check out Episode 19 to see our review of the snow that we found at one of them.

We are happy to hear that. Thank you for letting us know. Good luck!

Hi. There are links to three online vendors in the video description that sell snow globe parts, or you can do what we do and find an inexpensive used snow globe at the thrift store that has the same size globe and repurpose it. Good luck!

Hi. That is a good question. We have not been able to locate this globe online to get a value.

Hi. The clear glue makes the water thicker so the snow or glitter fall at a slower rate. Other options are glycerine, plain water, or using baby oil instead of water. You can check out Episode 32 where we do a side by side comparison.

Hi. I just measured it. It appears to be a 3.5" globe.

Happy to help!

Glad we could help!

Yes it is! A pretty cool one.

Yes. We like the results on this one.

Nice. Rod Stewart, that is cool! We agree, horses are great. We have many carousel horse snow globes.

Thank you! That seems to be a popular music box tune in a lot of the snow globes we have come across.

We're glad that the video was helpful. Good luck with the restoration. We are sure they will look great!

Hi! We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Check out Episode 91 on Basic Soldering Techniques. It should help.

Nice! One of our subscribers told us that it is rare. We have not come across another one.

Hi. Sorry to hear about your snow globes. That is unfortunate. Changing the water in the snow globe does not have a negative affect on the ornament. Good luck!

We use Elmer's Clear glue. However, you can use other brands of clear glue as long as the glue dissolves in water.

We are happy that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for the comment and thank you for the blessings, we can use them these days.

We are happy that you enjoyed the video. You can email us at tespi74@gmail.com. We'll see if we can provide any advice. Thanks for the comment.

Not sure. For some reason we were under the impression that this one coming from the Disney store. We heard that Disney is not is not making these large globes anymore. We haven't verified that.

Hi and thank you for the comment. We are very happy that we were able to help you. We have been dealing with several health issues this past year including a move due to one of the issues and we have not been able to work on any globes for a while. We hope to get these issues behind us and get back to repairing snow globes again.

@@snowgloberescue8887 please please please take care of your selves , that's what is important . <3

Thank you!

The alcohol in the globe water prevents algae and bacteria from forming.

Which glue is having an issue; the glue to hold the figurine on the stopper or the hot glue to seal the globe?

That sounds like a great project. We are sure it will be amazing!

We are happy that you found us!

We use Zap-A-Gap to attach the figurine to the rubber plug, however, early on we used used Super Glue and Gorilla Glue and they work as well.

@@snowgloberescue8887do you know what i could use as a waterproof sealant for a painted sculpture?

@@snowgloberescue8887thanks!!

Hi. We have used water proofing sealant spray made by Gorilla as well as Minwax. They both seem to work well.

We have never seen a snow globe with a USB port. We have come across many with switches for lights. We are careful with those not to get the electrical parts wet during repair.

@@snowgloberescue8887 do you service others for people or just your own? Also just checked it’s like an android plug in probably to charge it

We are not providing snow globe repair services at this time. Possibly in the future. Below are links to some snow globe repair companies that may be able to help you: snowgloberepair.com/ snowglobecentral.com/ www.snowgloberepaircenter.com/

@@snowgloberescue8887 ok thanks

Anytime! Good luck!

We are happy to help. You may want to check out some of our more recent repair videos as our techniques have evolved since this first repair video.

Unfortunately we do not at this time. Maybe in the future. If you need something repaired now see below for a list of snow globe repair companies that we know of: snowgloberepair.com/ snowglobecentral.com/ www.snowgloberepaircenter.com/

We have not been able to find any concrete information on what ratios to use. We have come up with a ratio that works for us through trial and error. We use 65% water, 30% clear glue, and 5% isopropyl alcohol. We do know that some manufacturers use up to 30% alcohol as an antifreeze.

You can do it! Good Luck! Let us know how it turned out.

Sorry to hear about your globe. The good news is that you can fix it. Hopefully our video can help you get through the process. Good luck!

@@snowgloberescue8887 are you sure the glass won’t break after I pour the boiling water? Also what type of glue should I consider to seal the globe back in and for putting the figurine on the base

In order to prevent damage to the glass pour the boiling water up to the top of the base, keeping the glass out of the water. We have never had an issue using this method. For attaching the figurine to the stopper we use Zap-A-Gap, however, you could use Super Glue or Gorilla Glue. We have used both in the past and they appear to still be fine. We use hot glue to seal the rubber stopper.

We need to try it the next time we have this situation. We found that the hydrogen peroxide that you buy at the pharmacy is not strong enough. We need to find a higher strength concentration in order to bleach the discoloration.

Hi. That is a great idea. We recently found out from a florist who sells these that the manufacturer adds 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar and 5 drops of chlorine bleach to the water. That is all they do. We'll put that on our to do list. Thank you!

@@snowgloberescue8887 really thats all? Nothing is done to the actual rose/flower? Its hard to believe

That is what they told us. We thought the rose may have been process somehow before being placed in the water. We will have to try it one day with a fresh rose and see what happens. Here is a link to their site: www.bardflowers.com/rose-globe.html

Hi. That is disappointing! It is a very nice and unique snow globe. We heard from another subscriber that they were sold out on Amazon. Hopefully he can restock soon.

@@snowgloberescue8887 they've been restocked for awhile now

Good. Thanks for letting us know.

@@snowgloberescue8887 I don't know how much longer it will be stocked for or if it will even restock once gone, which is partially why I wanted it to be my gift this year in the case it doesn't ever restock again. You don't typically find many remote controlled snowglobes when looking, especially not ones with so many songs or carousel themed

Yes, it is definitely unique.

Yes, we want to get to that one as soon as we can. Interestingly, the hourglass part that contains the water is plastic. It will not be like the standard glass snow globes that have a rubber stopper. This one will most likely have a fill plug like most plastic snow globes. The first thing we have to figure out is how to open the end so we can get to the plug. We have been dealing with health issues that have prevented us from making any videos in several months. We hope to get back to it as soon as we have these issues behind us. Thanks for the comment.

Hi. We use filtered water but if you have distilled water that is even better. Yes, we use rubbing alcohol, also known as isopropyl alcohol. The alcohol makes up 5% of the globe liquid.

Hello! The underwater method of removing air bubbles works so much better than the syringe as long as the base doesn't have anything like electronics that may be affected by the water. In that case we use the syringe but we use underwater whenever possible. We add alcohol to the snow globe water to inhibit algae and bacteria growth in the water. It helps keep the water clear. When we researched how to do this we could not find a specific amount of alcohol to use so we experimented and came up with 5% which has been working fine so far. Some manufactures add as much as 30% alcohol in the water to prevent them from freezing in cold climates.

Thank you for being a new subscriber! We are happy that our videos are helpful. That is a great idea. Recycle old snow globes and use your creativity to make something unique and fun. You probably watched Episode 2 where we show the collection when we started the channel. You may want to check out Episode 203, if you haven't seen it, where we do an update on the collection 2 years later. We have been dealing with health issues in the past six months or so and have not been able to make any videos in a while but we hope to get back to it soon.

Germany! Nice. I lived in Germany for three years back in 1988. I was stationed in Stuttgart when I was in the Air Force. I really enjoyed my stay there. We got those syringes from a store here named Bed, Bath, And Beyond. However, you can get them from Amazon. What you need to look for is a marinating syringe, however, you want one that has only one hole at the tip, as opposed to the marinating syringes where the needle has holes on the side as well. We explain the syringe as well as our other tools in Episode 3.

Unfortunately there is no information on the globe so the age is unknown.

So far we have not had any damage from the hot water, however, I can't remember if we did it with this one but for additional safety we put the snow globe in a plastic bag these days so that the base gets the heat but doesn't get wet.

We will do that the next opportunity that we get. However, we will most likely use the hair dryer to heat up the base where the small globe is mounted. Hopefully it was installed with hot glue since the heat will be able to loosen it. If it was installed with super glue or epoxy we may have to break the globe then install a new one. We have been dealing with health issues and hope to return soon.
