I don't think its needed to wash manually more than 10 stacks of anything, before washing machine can be built.
Plus the fact that most of the impure dusts are more or as efficient than the pure dusts early game (except redstone), so no need to wash tons of stacks of dusts

Don't worry I do know that dusts can be washed stacks at a time. I'm just tired of having to refill the cauldron every 3 stacks I drop into it when I have 3 inventories worth of impure dusts to wash. Also, I would really like to automate the process and this is probably the final hurdle.
If you are tired of hand washing, it is time to invest some resources in electrical age for a more advanced setup, Grinder → Ore Washing Plant / Mixer / Electromagnetic separator → Thermal Centrifuge → Grinder → Centrifuge / Electrolyzer → Packager.
I don't mind doing that I guess but I believe it is way slower this way. Hopefully I can process my ores completely within a shorter period of time.

Well I process all my ores in mid-game, those like glauconite or tungstate that are no use impure. Granted, glauconite may not be that useful but there are others that need to be broken down for progression.
Hey Bloodasp, I built a IBF in SSP and tried using your soldering iron to fix the circuits and it eat the fin soldering alloy wire but didn't fix it.
If your interested in seeing what I did here is the episode I did it in.
Also when all the wire was gone I got smooth stone when i threw the empty wire on the floor.
I'm running 5.09.01 forge 1492

Watched your video (the first time ever I've watched any video on Minecraft) & got a few questions.
1) Say you craft wrought iron ingots from nuggets. Which combination of controls do you use so that it all gets distributed evenly over the crafting table? And which mod adds that (if any is needed)?
2) What's that block in a corner of your upper chamber you apparently use to teleport down?
1.i'm swiping the tiny dusts/nuggets around to fill the gid evenly by holding down the left mouse button, no mod needed.
2.that is a open block elevator.
thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed it.

1) Is this a mod thing? I realized some time ago that I could do that by using the left mouse button, instead the right one. Left = distributes, right = puts one each slot. Some much easier to convert nuggets and tiny dusts =).
I miss the Electric Crafting table too. I see that there's a crafting schematic, meant to be used with the packager, but I never tried, wiki says that was not implemented.
I really want to automate crafting motors and pumps...

No idea why you got the stone, but your problem was too little energy in the solering iron. It needs at last 10.000EU per use.
ok, thanks. why does it use solder if I click on the block or when I use it in the GUI if it does't have the power to heat up?
Is there any way with just GT to a) remove creosote oil from RC Coke Ovens without using power, and b) voiding fluids?
Also, i have the following early electrical age set-up:
Macerator > Ore Washer > Hammer > Centrifuge
The purified crushed ore is ejected automatically into the Hammer, leaving behind Stone dust and tiny dust (by-product of the main ore). How can i automate the removal of stone and tiny dust into another chest/buffer with GT alone? Or any other ideas are welcome.
Help appreciated.

a) Pump cover
b) putting them into cells and then recycling
You should try to seach info on wiki first.

Neat problem. I assume IC2 is also allowed.
You can probably remove the fluid simply by using a pump attachment on a pipe. The pump will need to be on Insert mode.
You can "void" the liquid by burning it in, say, the semifluid generator, and not sending the power anywhere. Personally I'd harness this energy: if you're still using RC Coke Ovens you're in a pre-nuclear age and can use this power for great (or evil) deeds.
Alternately, you can pipe it into a tank (Quantum Tank) and use some automation trickery to remove/blow up the tank. Not sane/ideal, obviously.
I don't know of any liquid-voiding mechanics native to GT or IC2.
I vaguely remember a drain cover though I'm not certain if it interacted with other blocks or just liquids in the world and liquids in the machine it was attached to. Also it acts as a rain collector offering some of the only GT only "water generation" if you disable infinite water.
More fun facts than an answer to your question. I can't think of any solution lower tech than a pump configured to import on a fluid pipe.
You should try to seach info on wiki first.
And not finding the info was the reason I asked here. It may be that I placed the drain on the wrong side of the oven.
Neat problem. I assume IC2 is also allowed.
Actually, Most of IC2 generators are disabled. There is no use for creosote other than using it to make lubricant.

The first tier Quantum Tank requires components that can be made with 480 EU/t....i am still on LV (making aluminium).
I did try the drain cover attached to a pipe, which in turn is connected to a BC tank (BC pipes are disabled btw)...but that didn't work, Thinking about it now, I did have it attached to the side instead of the bottom of the oven....that may have been the reason it hadn't worked.
Yeah, Buildcraft does have a void pipe, we could have something to eject a fluid on the world at least.
I think the only way is recycling.
About the stone dust, you can use a item pipe on a T format, ore washer -> hammer and the same pipe link to chest, just make the hammer closer than the chest, like this:
xxxxxxxxxxx Chest
xxxxxxxxxxx -pipe-
Ore washer -pipe- Hammer
Items on pipes always look for the closest valid slot, so if you put the the hammer closer to the ore washer than the Chest, the Purified ore goes to the Hammer, and the stone and tiny dust will go to the chest.
ok, thanks. why does it use solder if I click on the block or when I use it in the GUI if it does't have the power to heat up?
It was meant to use the energy and get it down to 0, the material is lost because of energy loss in the middle of the process. With 0 energy nothing should happen. So at last a small bug is there.

GT pipery + pump covers set on import (screwdrive it) + GT multiblock boiler = energy generation.
Note: GT multiblock boilers can act as a hybrid boiler, burning both fluids (creosote oil) and solids (charcoal). It will however burn all the creosote before it starts burning charcoal. Which is best.
I also recommend using fluid level covers (on the water hatch) and a machine controller cover (on the control block) to toggle a shutdown on the boiler if the water level is too low.

Ah, thanks. NEI wasn't showing creosote as a valid fuel for anything other than IC2's semi-fluid generator.
Also, I haven't had any issues with drain on large steel pipe feeding water into the hatch (we have infinite water enabled).
Thanks to the others guys for their help too.
Another idea:
Fluid Recycler (can't accept water).
Two modes of work - giving scrap (bigger amount than normal recyler) or non-scrap mode, which is simmilar to void fluids.
Bloody, any usage of creosote you've planned for GT5EX?
Is this related to the api changes of Forestry or really a recipe error? https://github.com/ForestryMC/ForestryMC/issues/814
