I've had great results with the finest (thinnest) in a metal whisk and lit with a PP3 battery. I've found a marker on the floor helps if your doing spheres so you stay in place. Edit, wear old clothes ;)

We've got a few from I think lastolite, they all work fine for what they are. The double thickness (ones you put lights inside) are a PITA to fold up, at least for me. The normal ones are easy enough. Tip, take a tall lighting stand or something to hang it up from, trying to stand in on a...
