Is the finished product porous? I want to make necklaces for essential oils, and the discs need to be porous. Thanks!

We made small flowers out of the clay and let it air dry. I didn't know the answer to your question, so I sprayed some of my body oil mist on one the flowers and it does seem to me that the flower has absorbed the oil.

I have the polished, but wonder if the texture has more to do with the recipe than the finish. Case in point - this past Christmas I followed a pizzelle recipe but forgot to add the baking powder. They turned out thin, crisp and delicious. Next time I added the baking powder, and the pizzelles were thicker and soft. I, too, prefer thin and crisp and will intentionally omit the baking powder next time. Just my experience, hope it's helpful.

My understanding is that beeswax is optional: not necessary, but you might get a better seal around the mouthpiece with the beeswax. I had trouble playing the one I bought, but according to the instructor at the didgeridoo workshop it wasn't because of the mouthpiece, it was because the material the didge was made of is porous. If you like this didgeridoo, it might be worth a try. Beeswax is pretty cheap.

Definitely a question for the manufacturer, but I can say that the product is excellent. I use it for cosmetic/medicinal products, etc. Great size/price/quality.

Hi Richard! I totally recommend this product! it is of great, heavy duty quality and will make chocolate just fine! I used my grinder for making delicious coconut butter and chocolate. Worked like a champ! I have only used mine maybe 5 times and will selling it for a decent price if interested. I have moved onto Fruitarianism and have no use for my grinder. Let me know if interested. Have a pleasant day, Jay

I vaguely remember using some mineral oil to clean my brushes some years ago but I'm not certain what it was (if it even was linseed oil). The product work very well, i have some in a mason jar mix with water (it has a very strong smell) in it. I also have this metal grate-like thingy to help clean it. I'd certainly say it's worth the price though, hope this helps

It depends on what are you using it for hair, skin (etc)? The form it comes in is like hard butter. So if you're going to use any essential oils you'll need to melt it first.

While it is textured, it is not porous. I would think if you dusted it with flour you could roll out biscuits or pizza or anything else you wanted to. I have a baking pan with the exact same texture in it.

Hi! I loved it! I sprinkled over my colored polish, let it set for a few minutes, then put a coat of clear over it & it lasted over 5 days - & in GOOD shape. No beads coming off or anything. I was surprised.

Hi Dee, I'm just seeing this question now. The other comments are correct, there shouldn't be any grittiness. It should be smooth and creamy. Your jar may have been subjected to heat during shipping. Please email me (if you haven't already) and I'll send you a replacement jar right away. Kenny CEO Christina Moss Naturals

It's pretty hard. A lot like alumalite in if you've ever worked with that. This is a crazy good product. If it's not working you're doing something wrong. Check to be sure you're mixing the 2 parts properly. This is one to one ratio I believe. I measure *by weight* not volume. Don't guesstimate. Also prep your surfaces and this is not a quick cure. Give it enough time to cure before you unclamp it.

It dries to a sandable state in a half hour. It dries to what the industry calls "natural" which is a sort of pine yellow. It claims to be stainable but I've found that it doesn't take light stains well. Maybe a dark walnut or such?

hi,my first thought was ,just like woolite,joy dish deterjent.but it does clean without building bubbles,and unlike other jewelry cleaners,you can use this with fine,gemstones or costume jewelry.although it does warn against cleaning porous or 'delecate' jewelry. this i believe ,is because it can also remove some of the 'glue' and therefore cause an item to 'brek' or come apart,i did this to a brooch(i cleaned 3 x in a row-super concentrated-i learned my lesson).however no ingredients are listed,quite likely it is a baking soda and borax,but possibly you can find out from manufacturer which is "blitz manufacturing company,inc. jeffersonville,in 47130.i hope this helps. hi,my first thought was ,just like woolite,joy dish deterjent.but it does clean without building bubbles,and unlike other jewelry cleaners,you can use this with fine,gemstones or costume jewelry.although it does warn against cleaning porous or 'delecate' jewelry. this i believe ,is because it can also remove some of the 'glue' and therefore cause an item to 'brek' or come apart,i did this to a brooch(i cleaned 3 x in a row-super concentrated-i learned my lesson).however no ingredients are listed,quite likely it is a baking soda and borax,but possibly you can find out from... » Read More hi,my first thought was ,just like woolite,joy dish deterjent.but it does clean without building bubbles,and unlike other jewelry cleaners,you can use this with fine,gemstones or costume jewelry.although it does warn against cleaning porous or 'delecate' jewelry. this i believe ,is because it can also remove some of the 'glue' and therefore cause an item to 'brek' or come apart,i did this to a brooch(i cleaned 3 x in a row-super concentrated-i learned my lesson).however no ingredients are listed,quite likely it is a baking soda and borax,but possibly you can find out from manufacturer which is "blitz manufacturing company,inc. jeffersonville,in 47130.i hope this helps. « Show Less

I finished mine with Liquid Plastic clear finish, much more durable than shellac. It is an imported wood somewhat like a butcher block design, but looks very nice when finished. I also put formica on the top to blend with our kitchen counter, making it very attractive, although you do not have to do that, it looked beautiful finished natural. Hope this helps. regards GG

One other reviewer said they put it in the top (the circle outlet that diffuses the mist)...I tried using that little slit and I didn't think it was very aromatic. I've been putting the oils into the top part and haven't had any problems. I've had my diffuser for at least 3 or 4 months now. I think the oil I use causes the container to get stained but it's not a very big deal (to me). I use the OnGuard oil from doterra. As a comparison, I bought another diffuser from a different company and that one says to put the oil directly in the water.

I assume the item has been finished with mineral oil in the past. I would give it a good rub down with a fiber pad before applying the beeswax and there should be no problem. I use this for carved spoons and bowls. I have successfully applied after mineral oil using the method above.
