Well, here are my first two humble creations. The second two were even more humbling and are plaster soup right now. They never cured so I mushed them up and got the crystals out. I’ll recast sometime.
Not pretty, not great, but hey, I did it. I did it a while ago, just didn’t feel like showing the world my bad plaster pouring skills just yet. These were cast in probably polycarbonate clear plastic ice cream dishes. The little short thing was the first layer of one of the failed pours. The subsequent layers never hardened and I just peeled them off of this one. Right now I have an orgonite HHG set on it. This is the first night that I have moved them upstairs near the bedroom. We’ll see how that goes.
Oh, yeah, the cat decided she must have some part of her in this photo op but didn’t get close enough to use it to determine scale. The foot is much closer to the camera.
Hi Isabelle,
Welcome!At US Composites, you can use the EB polyester resin which is cheaper. It is a brownish green resin. By the time you pay shipping on 1 gallon, you could have paid the same amount at Autozone or Walmart for their Bondo brand resin. They work just the same but the EB resin is a bit higher quality meaning a touch easier to work with. With poly resin, you use a liquid MEKP catalyst that is measured in drops.
Josh has also had good luck with epoxy which is what he was describing. The catalyst for epoxy is a thick liquid and mixes in like a 1:2 ratio or something like that. He’s the expert there.
This may sound nutty but I was thinking of making muffin size regular orgonite with the epoxy and another set using separate muffin molds for the plaster version since the hardening time is different. And hopefully be able to compare the vibes of epoxy to plaster.I think this is a stellar idea. The plaster concept is relatively new and it is exciting to hear people’s response in a side by side comparison.
BTW, I have a friend who was given a TB cast-off by a local maker which gave him one of the worst nightmares of his life and has been very suspicious of orgonite ever since. The thing looked harmless enough but I guess it was a very bad mix. Yikes.
It is possible that it wasn’t bad orgonite but that he had not acclimated to the piece yet.
Best regards to you!
NepiOh god, this is awesome, MG! Thanks for the write up.
Regarding your sensitivity, have you ever made or been around sugar orgonite? What does it feel like comparatively?
Also, Josh, I know might defeat a couple purposes of the plaster method, but what about coating the outside of the plaster CB with resin or epoxy to weatherproof it?

Thank you for those instructions.
I’ve been pondering it still and wondering if plaster is gypsum and selenite is gypsum, and sheet rock is gypsum, then how is the plaster orgonite any more effective than say a piece of drywall/sheet rock or a chunk of selenite? Please don’t ban me from the forum
, I’m just trying to understand how it works. nepi
Thanks Josh, Ok, then, how do you make it so that I can try it for myself? Do I just the plaster from the craft store? Should there be metal in it, and if so, how much? How many crystals?
THanks!
nepiThere has been a question raised about the “plasterite” being a collector instead of a transmuter of DOR.
Just a few days ago, I read that “after they recieved a tip”, someone smashed a plaster piece they had bought a while ago because he said it was a scam or something like that. I don’t know where he got the “tip”.
Do you have any info that could shed light on this subject? The plaster would be way cool, cheap and easy to make but it seems that it is getting a bad rap. Does it indeed transmute or just a DOR collector?
