Oh , forgot to use copper powder...must remember to take to school....even stronger ? Ha..should be interesting !

Thank you Monsoon, this is a wonderful report, it will be interesting to see what the children will do, let us hope many people pick up on the idea of making cheap, easy and powerful Orgonite

I am getting ready to make a cloud booster using a single 4 inch copper pipe in the middle, I will have to keep it under cover, though shellac woks nice on the plaster, I dont think it will work for too long in the elements

Oh 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?

Nepi

I shall try a coat of epoxy and see what happen

Hi Nepipemi...Never considered sugar orgonite,,,have read about it couple of times ,but info wasn't clear,
on construction and methods....closest I've been was munching on a toffee apple ! Ha ha

I have some brown and black oxides buried away somewhere from old pottery days.....these were used to paint,
colour, patterns on unfired pottery pieces....I'll take to school so kids can decorate there plaster Hhg's...should
look great and add their own personal touch.

Shellac....natural substance ? From memory I used this to French polish a wooden jewelery box at school. Came out with glass
finish..got an A...but that was 40 odd years ago. Is this the stuff that comes in flakes and you dissolve with something ?
Can,t remember . How many coats? Also , how long after making does plaster take to be dry enough to shellac ?
The paper my Hhg's are sitting on still seems damp. I have 2 days with students so looks like not enough time to dry,
paint and shellac .

More info appreciated... Thanks

Hello MG
The shellac drys in a minute, the first coat will disappear quickly in the dried plaster, and to see the shine you will have to coat it about thee times.

The shellac is natural, it is made with bugs , I like it since it dry so fast, it will come in different weight, called 30 lb or 40 lb cut, and this has to do with the amount of dissolved bug material in a solvent, I have not seen it in powder form to be dissolved, all I can get is the already prepared mixture.

So You should be able to get the children to use it, also if it is hot where you are, by the time you finish the second side of your HHG, the first one will be dry, so basically you can shellac the whole device and keep on going for a second coat without stoping.
I am most interested in what the children will say
IMPORTANT: after you use brushes with shellac, it will clean spotless with ammonia, even if you forget a brush and do it the day after

Forgot; depending on the size of your plaster pieces the drying time will vary , some of the larger one : cone 8 inches in bottom 3 inches at the top and 18 inches tall will take a week to dry before shellac, an HHG may take a day or two depending how hot the environement. this may be the only draw back with the plaster, you can demold them rather quickly (much quicker than resin), but it will stay moist for a while, but the results in the quality of the energies is worth the wait

Thanks for info Josh,
Picked up some orange shellac flakes and mineral turpentine < I think..left at school >..has
instructions,,,will find out tomorrow.

Today was great. Students responsive. They are quite energy sensitive having played with
quartz, tourmaline and shiva stones etc....can operate pendulum and divine water...I gifted them
pocket orgonites last Christmas.
So we're going to make plaster orgonite today......eyes lit up . ha
.ground rules set , each student collected 3 pieces each
of 19 samples in takeaway containers , plus a small hermiker quartz.
The Hhg moulds are teacup size ,old solid glass...a couple of old punchbowl sets.
The extras from previous list were : shungite, adventurine, quartz chips , red coral and
I remembered the copper powder..each batch of plaster had t/spoon .

So after a demo, students made and mainly poured their own in groups of 4. Had to help
couple of times.....They came out very smooth and students reported feeling energy while holding.
Painting tomorrow...Should be interesting.. might try some diff, moulds.
S
Don't think will be dry enough to shellac,..we'll see.

So.. arrive at school next day..staff seem happy as usual,
but noted higher energy...the students were zooming around
playing happily together....not your normal layed back, slow
start morning !
Class work surprised me as All students participated with
enthusiasm. The day flew past and they went home smiling and
chatting.... WOW..impressive.
This was a real eye opener.....the school is already well gifted
with Tb's in classrooms, office and buried in gardens.....but
today there was a much higher energy factor that stood out.

The PlasterOrgonite was still damp a day later,,we played with
them for a while...most confirmed feeling energy while held..
couple didn't.. I demonstrated oxide painting...tricky and fiddley.
No room for error as oxide soaked in straight away and smudged
on touch....the shellac flakes refused to dissolve. metho, not turps..!
So we made more plaster orgonite.! ! ha ha

In fact, I really wanted to trial my silicone moulds...trays of flat top
pyramids, hearts and stars.Tb size. Students loved collecting the samples
again and proficiantly made and poured the plaster with the small
amount of copper powder.
They came out beautifully....smooth as..with a hint of coloured
minerals showing through.
So school holidays coming up.. won't see them till next term.

I wonder if their homes will glow as much as the school did ?

Next trial...a large Plaster Broadcaster.....no bucket of water.!
Enjoy.
