    I thought air/oxygen is part of the reaction on the commercial ones. That is the the reason for the clothlike packaging. I can remember using them if they cooled down you could take them out of your pockets and get some air to them and they would heat up.

    As Edison said. You have not failed you have just discovered a way that does not work

    I bet that's what I'm missing. Yeah, the plastic bag must not let any oxygen get through.

    I would think that might be the reason they got slighty warm. They had ran out of oxygen to fuel the reation

    For what it’s worth, when I use the commercial warmers, and they’ve still got “life” left when I’m through with them, I seal them in a plastic bag. When I remove them days later and give ‘em a few shakes, they heat back up.

    The oxidation or iron is an amazing thing. That is how you cut steel with a touch. Get the metal hot enough to react with the stream of oxygen you can turn off the gas and the reaction produces enough heat to keep it cutting.
