Iron Filings - 1 Pound Package

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

You get a lot of iron filings with this package! Product came in a white plastic bottle with a screw-on lid. The label states there is a contents of 500 grams (1.1 lbs). When measured, the weight came out to a total of 1Lb and 4oz (567 grams), including the bottle. I used this in a science experiment for an elementary classroom. I recommend this to any teacher or educator in need of iron filings for magnetism experiments.

I used these for my son's science project and it was perfect. It goes a long way. We were able to use it for 10 science experiments and still have a little left in the bottle. It made my little scientist happy.

My son and I mixed this with some homemade slime and we now have instant magnetic slime. He loves the way it crawls up and moves around when a magnet is introduced to it.Bottle has four small perforated holes allowing more control when pouring fillings out (like a salt shaker). Fillings are a bit powdery, but all was cleaned after a good hand scrubbing. Eye ware recommended while handling.

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.

This stuff served its purpose, magnetic slime.. but it rusted pretty quickly. The previous brand I purchased did not.

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.
