I appreciate all the input. I've constructed a cooler that routes the
haze through a couple feet of dry ice. I'll let you know the
results. I do need to use a hazer for this particular play because of
some confusion between the director and I on needs. It's too late to
return the hazer to our rental company without incurring fees we don't
want to pay. I'm just trying to make the best use of what we have,
and of course, we are on a budget.

Does anyone know of a way we can modify the haze fluid to minimize
hang time? I realize that it will inevitably be much much longer than
that of fog, but is there a way to make the haze dissipate a little
faster? The only solution I've come up with as of now is an exhaust
fan, but our theater does not have any outside walls.
