Iron Filings - 1 Pound Package

My bottle arrived on time, was exactly as described, and worked very well for my needs.

Used with clear glue to make magnetic slime and it worked great! A bit fine so you may need to double the amount of fillings needed in the recipe.

This is a generous quantity of iron filings, though it does include a bit of red iron oxide that gives the product a less than pure black appearance. Still, it is wholly functional, exhibiting a strong attraction to magnets and revealing their field lines admirably.

Mix it with super glue like you would epoxy, and it makes a strong bond. You need to work relatively quick. There are YouTube videos. It's strong enough your able to take a grinder to it.

Used this product for science experiment. The initial testing reveled unexpected result with used with magnets which gave promise to the experiment. Also, expect to see a sand-like residue that is not magnetic. Pour some filings onto a white paper plate, but a magnet on the bottom and move it around. The magnetic filings will be attracted to the magnet while leaving the very fine sand-like power behind. I have not found a use for the residue yet, but non important. This majority of this product, 99.9% is very well worth the price and wait. More experiments to come. You may want to order 5 pounds at a time because 1 pound just was not enough when we discovered what can be done. You may soon discover other creative observational experiments you can do with this.

These iron filings are finer than sand! Perfect for making orgonite with when mixed with epoxy resin. You'll get an almost infinitely larger surface area and consequently many more layers than working with the big chunks of metal shavings used in traditional orgonite. It doesn't sink to the bottom of the suspension before curing occurs. I only have my Don Croft style CB bucket 1/8 full and the tower is already radiating powerful chi energy.

Small fillings worked great for my science project but the bottle is only half full. I know it's by weight but this isn't necessary fill space so it is disappointing.Small but not small enough for making magnetic putty.

After seeing mixed reviews, I wasn't sure if I should purchase this, but I went for it. My container of iron filings is an accurate pound. It came in a bottle (the bottle looks similar to those you would buy cinnamon or other seasonings in.) The bottle was then sealed in a ziplock bag, then boxed for shipping. I haven't removed the container from the baggie yet, but everything looks secure - shouldn't have a mess when I open it.
