Looks a lot like the one I was joking about using last year.
I wonder if this would work after all. I’m sure mine is from GA mine being so close though

Dred_pirate · January 28, 2020, 2:04am

The label?

Curious_Roberto · January 28, 2020, 2:06am

Just plain ol bentonite with some quartz unfortunately

StoneD · January 28, 2020, 2:16am

I was kinda joking again.
Sorry guys my since humor is a lil dry tonight

@Dred_pirate the material itself looks really similar by picture but like @Curious_Roberto stated no bueno

Curious_Roberto · January 28, 2020, 2:30am

I dug around for awhile when everyone first found this stuff. Pretty sure I have every msds they offer lol. I had to give up!

Curious_Roberto · January 28, 2020, 2:45am

I need to get my hands on some of this stuff, someday…

tweedledew · January 28, 2020, 4:08am

I still can’t find any made a dozen calls to oil-dri at this point. Lmk if anyone manages to get the bulk hookup

Dred_pirate · January 28, 2020, 5:13am

I’m tempted to buy a pallet

tweedledew · January 28, 2020, 5:31am

I’ll buy a couple bags off yah!

sonicgardens · January 28, 2020, 5:41am

Me to

destroytec · January 28, 2020, 5:45am

Me too

Curious_Roberto · January 28, 2020, 8:42am

I’d take one as well

ScoobyDoobie · January 28, 2020, 12:08pm

Ill take a few

Dred_pirate · January 29, 2020, 4:20am

@sonicgardens @destroytec @Curious_Roberto @ScoobyDoobie.

I am going to order a pallet next week once guy is back in the office. Only problem we have is, one pallet is so small to them. They usually ship truck loads up to FUCKING BOATS. We are so small scale… Haha

Idab916 · January 29, 2020, 4:52am

I’d like to grab some also

kinnick-neck · January 29, 2020, 7:01am

I’d also be up for a couple bags, and willing to help with whatever if it’s in PDX. Think they could deliver in time for Beaker bash at NWCC on the 15th?

tweedledew · January 29, 2020, 7:02am

Just do what every POS middle man does. Tell them you need 200 tons, and then commit to 1 tonne for a test batch then ignore their subsequent emails about making a larger purchase

anon86230761 · January 29, 2020, 8:12am

I have an account and can purchase — the caveat here is that it’s the sub of oil dri, agsorp — só Im waiting for that crossover I am first doing sample tests.
I don’t know that this will be the best sorbent to use or even that safe but I’ll find out if you have quantities that would help. 100kg per person would be pretty easy and cheap.
Most of these sorbents are ¢65 per kilo. Shipping is about the same price as the 10 metric tonnes.

anon86230761 · January 29, 2020, 8:13am

And @Dred_pirate is correct, their average customer does 200,000 metric tons each per year and shipments are done per rail car.
Só our entire industry is like the little kid buying a tootsie roll at the candy shop.

anon86230761 · January 29, 2020, 8:15am

Also, edible oil is 1-2% sorbent to oil ratio.
Só wow right. I guess we are gonna need to make cooking oil and put this in everything from bath bars to potato chips
