Not only is that "ouch," but that could also kill, considering an ice ball would probably be as hard as a typical rock.

instead of boiling or filtering like everyone else says, just use de-ionized (distilled) water. no contaminants to fog the ice.
imshanedulong (author) says: Dec 5, 2008. 12:51 PM
Cool! That could work!
mitchell12 says: Aug 27, 2008. 9:59 PM
Yep boiling and filtering the water would make it much clearer I might give it a try like that.

Thanks for reminding me I was gonna mention boiling! although, it may melt rubber.
tubbychick3n says: Aug 28, 2008. 7:13 PM
after boiling it, you're supposed to let it cool off after.
mitchell12 says: Sep 18, 2008. 10:39 AM
I assumed that was obvious but I guess not.
tubbychick3n says: Sep 18, 2008. 8:45 PM
yeah it was obvious to me. i guess not him.

...don't put this in your lunch. Unless you want a puddle of water, of course.
imshanedulong (author) says: Sep 1, 2008. 2:06 PM
I meant leave it in the balloon!
Weissensteinburg says: Sep 1, 2008. 4:51 PM

i think you should re-name this instructable "how to freeze a water balloon"
imshanedulong (author) says: Aug 28, 2008. 12:58 PM
To Simple. Plus it gives it away.
arne hendriks says: Aug 28, 2008. 8:38 AM
I like it. Lots of creative things you can do with this.

if you boil the water twice, it should be close to crystal-clear
