What is inside of this steam Pack, beads, clay, or gel? Can this pack also be frozen? Thank you!

The pack is filled with silica sand, but looks like clay. It is not intended to be used as a "cold pack", but can be frozen when not in use to prevent molding.

It looks like there is clay inside. I was told to initially soak the HotPac for 24 hours to fully expand. Then, when not in use, keep in air tight plastic bag. If not in use over longer interval, freeze it. Otherwise, it will dry out and lose its capacity to hold heat.

The inside material is called Bentonite. These are intended for heat use, not cold.

Yes, you have to freeze them. They are just like any other Ice pack, but about the size of a slice of bread. There are four in a set, and work well.

Not a bag of ice but a freezer pack is OK.(you know, the hard shelled kind that have gel in them.)I freeze bottles of water and they cool it down quicker in the beginning. NEVER EVER let ice melt in it. It will ruin the motor.

I tried using the Gel Pack as a heat pack. However, like most large packages, ours didn't heat evenly in our 1200 watt microwave. The outside gets hot before the inside gets warm. We gave up. We use a Hot Water Bottle for heat pack and the Gel Pack for cold pack.

We use dry ice. It keeps the packs frozen. The packs themselves also last three hours or so for my mom. Ice won't re-freeze them but will cool them enough to be of use again

Hello Karen, We do ship it frozen and we include ice packs, but very likely the product will not arrive frozen to its destination. I hope this answers your question!

Keep adding ice. You could also freeze what u make and pull out at the desired solid state

What works best for me is to cover the packages (cut to the size you want) with cold water. I let the packs soak for aboot 15 mins. and then knead the packs while in the water. This will remove all of the trapped air. Then let them soak for another 10 mins. Place the packs in the freezer until completely frozen.

simple ice trays and btw it doesn't work too well either, it takes forever for anything to freeze completely..we have ice pops for the kids that I put in about a week ago and they are still not frozen.

It comes with an Ice pack, but we have used also soft ice packs too bc we forgot to freeze the ice pack a few times :)

I have not steamed block anything yet. I couldn't give you an honest answer. It is made out of a foam type material. If you steam block I would probably put an interface or light towel down so the colors don't run. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

No. The gel turns into liquid when the soil gets dry and dissolves. There is a separate tube to hold the gel (slimy, but sausage-shaped out of the plastic wrap)--you replace another gel pack in the tube when it's empty. Each gel pack lasts a while, even longer if you water it (or is exposed to rain).

I used hot water so it would be quicker. I put it in the freeze before bed around midnight and at 6am it was frozen solid. I love them!

I bought these tiny glitter containers from a craft store and did just as you said (freeze portions) the only thing is you must make sure no moisture gets into the tubes. I'm sure you could vacuum seal portions too.

I sent an e-mail to Caddy Wraps with this same question and I was told you can heat the packs in hot water (and he advised to wear gloves when putting them in the face caddy because it'll be really hot). I'm going to try it (probably not *boiling* but just hot water)

I just ordered this in the summer. It arrived in an uninsulated box with no ice - and was simply a bag of pricey chocolate ooze. I'd say stock up in the winter or find a seller that ships with an ice pack.
