... and they are silicon injected :
First try wasn’t great as i overfilled and ended up with one cracked ball (this hurts) :
Second batch went better :
And something that should not be tried at home (don’t worry, the pepper grinder is just here for artistic purpose) : Whisky & !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with lime, not to mention the cracked ball from the first batch...
I really recommend it, for around 2.5€ each including shipping it’s a great thing to have.
Bought it !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! but the price has doubled since (but there are still some other sellers that sells them for less).
!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!
I was going to go to bed but the comments forced me to check my 3rd batch that i did put this evening.
This time, i did a ballsy move by using hot water as !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! but the result isn’t great (they look like the Death Star) :
Then i turned around some :
To be honest i don’t car e much that they don’t look perfect but next time i will try the other way around ( as proposed by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) by putting them on the fridge before the freezer so the temperature drop will be less violent and there might be less bubbles trapped inside .

I’ve heard that if you fill your balls with hot water, less air will be trapped in solution and your balls will come out clear instead of cloudy.

Put them on top of a vibrator while they’re freezing and they’ll come out clearer. Where you get the vibrator is up to you.

Look man, I’m all for letting your freak flag fly but...um, the oozing...you should really call your doctor to get that checked out, m’kay.
Urgent Care, if necessary.

You should try making Jello in them.

This will sound crazy but bare with me....freeze them slower, put this mold into a small cooler and freeze it there. It’ll take longer but they’ll come out damn near crystal clear. The white is the air being trapped as the water freezes and it can't escape.

I have a set, but they’re little brains.

The hot water thing is a wives tale and I don’t know who thought of it. Hot water does carry less dissolved gasses But gasses can resorb as water cools. Best bet is to slowly cool in the frig then put in the freezer maybe even try distilled water.

Now I have to give it a shot with my own balls.

Along those lines, using distilled water, boiled first, can help with clarity.

Distilled or even better under vacuum should produce clear results.

This is the quality O ppo that keeps me comi ng back here day after day.
I’ll have to try this with my balls. They aren’t blue, I only have two and they are much bigger than yours.

Fridge to freezer could help but I've found that if you have a cooler that fits inside your freezer (kinda weird I know) that will dramatically extend the freeze time.
