ATTENTION: Be carefull when you manage Calcium Chloride, it's aggressive water absorbing properties and can burn your skin.

My instructables is really simple to do, you need only 3 components

►Calcium Chloride (20-25gr)

►Water (50 ml)

►Two types of Ziplock Bag

Calcium Chloride it's really easy to found in a store, it's use for Dehumidifiers the home or to put on the frozen Sidewalk for melt the ice! You can reuse the liquid for this last method or for kill the rogues.

Ok

► now you need the bigger zip lock and put the calcium chloride inside! leave open this ziplock

►fill the little ziplock with the water and seal very well

(in the next step i show you another Awesome method for seal the bag without the "ziplock")

after try vary experiment i think for the best result for ratio is:

every 1 part of Calcium mix 2 part of water.

Now you need another bag for this step (this is for the safety )

Put the ziplock with the water in the bag with the calcium chloride and seal it

Now you Should have the bag with the water inside the bag with the calcium...

Seal this bag and put all the bag inside at another Plastic bag

This step it's optional,
but with this method you can seal very well the bag and every liquid not escape, in my case my ziplock it's very cheap and the zip is not really good...

I show this method in another Instructables here : How to Seal Plastic Bag

The precedure it's very easy, you need only

You only press the little ziplock bag (with the water) and mix the calcium with the liquid.

in only few second you can feel the heat come from the bag!

i mesaured this reaction and this Hand warmer can produce over 41°F (20°C)

after the reaction get off don't waste the liquid because you can recycle :

1. for kill the weeds from your Garden
2. for antifreezing liquid

this because this salt in the water create a liquid with freezing point below the zero, You can put over the ice on your sidewalk or your stairs to melt it.
