Hey everyone!
Does anyone happen to know where I might be able to pick up or order some hand and body warmers?
I'm not talking about those disposable ones you find at a gas station, though. I mean the reusable kind—the ones filled with that "hot ice" substance that triggers an exothermic reaction.
I actually have two at home already, but they’re getting pretty old, I suppose, and they just don't seem to hold much heat anymore.
If I remember correctly, the way they work is that once you activate them, the liquid turns into "hot ice"—sort of like crystals—which releases the warmth.
Then, once they harden up again, you're supposed to boil the warmer in water so the crystals melt back into a liquid, and then you can just start the whole cycle over.
