Polymer Cool Neck Bands

Beat the Heat!!!!

Cool Ties have become a very popular method of keeping cool during the summer heat.  Each cool tie is made with medium sizepolymer which is safe and non-toxic. Cool Ties work on the principal of evaporative cooling.  Once the polymer is hydrated, the fabric surface of the Cool Tie draws the moisture from the polymer to the fabric surface, which evaporates resulting in an effective body cooler.    In areas of high humidity where no wind is present use two or three Cool Ties, keeping one in a refrigerator or ice chest and as soon as the one being worn reaches body temperature, exchange it with the one in the cooler.   Wear the Cool Tie around the neck or head and it will bring great relief from the heat!

How to Make Smelly Jelly
Smelly Jelly recipe 1 teaspoon medium or large Watersorb brand water crystals will absorb approximately 1 cup water. Place crystals in a large bowl and add water. Wait 30 minutes and it will produce beautiful ice looking crystals. To add color, add a drop of food coloring to the water. To add fragrance to the crystals use either water or oil based fragrance. To use oil based fragrance add one drop of scent free dishwashing detergent to the water before adding polymer and fragrance. This is not necessary with water based fragrance, however most customers report longer lasting fragrance when using oil based scent. History of Smelly Jelly

History

In 1988 Dan Wofford, Jr. wrote and distributed a brochure describing how to make Smelly Jelly. In the early 1990’s the Cooperative Extension Service distributed the recipe and many individuals started cottage businesses making Smelly Jelly and selling it at flea markets, trade shows and fairs. A few years later several US and Japanese companies began making Smelly Jelly for sale over the internet and in hobby & craft stores. Smelly Jelly has been a popular item on E-Bay since the inception of the internet auction company. In 1999 the Smelly Pelly was invented. This proprietary formula allows the customer to add water to the super absorbent which has had fragrance and color embedded in the polymer. The polymer is the shape of a pellet--hence the name Smelly Pelly—just add water! . Thousands of individuals have been making and selling Smelly Jelly and Smelly Pelly for almost a decade and a half!
