Due to the limitations of this forum software which is not designed to deal with incessant CIA harrassment, we have no alternative but to disable automatic registration, and then we can't change this automatic message. Your account needs to be created by admin before you can post in the forums. Because otherwise, almost all registrants are CIA sock puppets. To get a forum account you need to send a brief presentation email to loohanforum at gee mail dot com, also suggesting a user name. Then we can enable you manually. But before you even do that, take a look around the forum and my site and decide whether you REALLY WANT to join/post, before you jack us around. Most seemingly genuine people who apply fail to even ever log in once to change their password after we go through the work of creating a membership for them. Then we must quickly delete their account again lest the CIA has intercepted their temporary password. And of the few who do change their password, most still never post. Maybe they realize we are too weird for them, I don't know. They get real quiet, never to be heard from again.

Oily Metal Shavings
Hi
This is my first time posting here. My name is Jenny and I'm excited about making orgonite, only made it one time many years ago but now I can devote some serious time and resource to this.
My question is so basic but what to do with oily shavings. Seems like I read about it weeks ago but of course I alludes me as I'm looking for the info now. Got a five pound box of aluminum shavings and it's so oily some of it worked through the card board of the box it was shipped in.
What's the best way to clean the batch?
Thanks

Re: Oily Metal Shavings
Welcome on board!
When turning aluminum on a lathe, usually a water based cutting fluid is used, so just put the shavings in a bucket with a liberal amount of hot water, swish around, let soak, swish around, pour through a strainer.
Worked for me. Otherwise just chime in again.

It might also be a real oil. A light coating on the shavings won't really hurt orgonite functionally. Maybe most has already been blotted.

This went a lot better than I expected. It's really really hot in the desert where I live so just a few bucketfuls of hot hose water did the trick.It wasn't as oily as I thought it would be.
Thanks for the advice!
