Re: Orgone size experimentation & experience.

Hi,

I'm also just starting to make orgone, and I also started with towerbusters. Watch out that you add the activator, and that you MIX it in, and that the resin gets thick before you start to pour. I completely screwed up my first batch, I have the advantage that hubbie has had experience with fiberglass and resin, and that we make jewelry. I either didn't add enough activator, or I didn't mix it enough, but I got a bunch of gooey stuff that didn't gel.

We have another set all ready to go on Monday, but we are going to try mixing the metal scraps with the resin, and pouring them on the crystals, to see if that works better. We couldn't find a good source of metal scraps, so we've been cutting up chore boys with a paper cutter.

We figure we can re-use the stuff that didn't gel but repouring over it, in bigger molds, we'll have to come up with some sort of molds.

I've found information on how to make resin pendants, so small resin objects should be no problem, whether they are effective as orgone accumulators or not, I don't know, but technically it's doable. We have the advantage that we are jewelers, and we do casting in silver and gold, so we've cast before, and little castings are doable, just might take a while to come out the way you want them to.

The only thing about the towerbuster tapes I won't do no matter what is sticking baby powder under rubber gloves. I'm skipping the rubber gloves altogether, thanks, I'll just peel off whatever I splash, and it's not like splashing melted silver-I do believe that nail polish remover is the same as acetone.

Well ventilated outside is really really important, we've gotten sick melting metal, and we've found our about that the hard way. That is very necessary.

I'm going to try to retrieve my first batch and do another monday, the Don Croft site is now by invitation only, I'm glad to find others trying this out for the first time.

Julie
