wow...
i amaze....
wahe!!!
but where can i get sodium acetate???

ebay

I just bought some from the internet.

SOOOO RAD!!

thats cool

Very cool...

i'd love to see some practical applications

Your creating a super saturated solution, it isnt turning to ice, it's crystallizing.

whatever, it looks realistic enough to fool my friends

okay, im a magician. this will be a cool trick. that's practical.

what happens if you poke it and leave your finger in the liquid/ice?

youre screwed!

your screwed!

^^^^^^^^^^^^agree

awsome

how long does it take to melt or is it like dry ice

i heard that sodium acetate is poisonous, so i wouldn't put it in someone's drink

it's called food grade sodium acetate, you can eat it but it tastes nasty

SO how are you guys doing?

WTF?

i just bought some of that on ebay and got over 1 lb of the stuff for under 15 bucks, check out on ebay and get it ,its gonna be awsome lol Email me at A-play@live.com

Aaronlime1 (on my other account)lol

cannot wait to try this. neither can my boys....

Omg! just touch it and it turns to ice!! lol THATS SO COOL!!

is thr a time limit on to how long til it freezes or does it have to be disturbed or what

K So im def. trying this one.

I have some. it gets realy hot. Same stuff that is in some of does hand and boot warmers that they sale at ski places for 2$ each little pack. Now If you or your freind have access to a food saver bag sealer you can make your own reusable hand warmers. the food grade bags used for "Food savers can be boiled and frozen. I keep some in my snowmobile.

will it instantly freeze or do i have to poke it or what?

AWESOME

damn nigga dats duh coodest #$%@ eva

Can someone who has tried this tell me if it freezes from time, or if it actually is your touch?

it freezes when you ad a crystal of sodium acetate.

i let my supersaturated liqued cool in the fridge overnight. when i checked it in the morning long (about 1.5 to 2 centimeter), very thin crystals had grown in the bottom of the glass. they survive at room temp to this day (about 3 weeks) in an airtight container. can some one tell me what they are? are they pure sodium acetate?
