Gallium Liquid Metal 50 Grams, 99.99% Pure Melting Gallium - 50g Vial, Syringe, Silicone Mold Cubes, and Complete DIY Science Experiment Guide

My daughter has a blast with this. Gallium melts easy and hardens in cool shapes, but in total it's about a gumballs worth so I feel compelled to buy more gallium.

When you first get it, and it is in the tube, your best bet is to set the tube in some hot water, as it will take awhile for the thick cylinder of gallium to melt. But, then you can pour it out and play with it. It is messy, and will stain pretty much anything it touches. So, be careful where you play with it. You can use the syringe to pick up the liquid.What we did was to have a container of cold water ready, when we were finished playing with the liquid gallium. Place the liquid gallium right into the cold water, and it will re-solidify. Then, you can just pick it up, and put it wherever you want to store it.Once you have thinner pieces of gallium, it is pretty easy to melt it in your hand.

I got it when I needed it at a cost I could afford.

I read melt in your hands, like 77-79 degrees or whatever, that does not happen, you're going to look like an idiot for hours on end holding this crap in your hand BUT this element is pretty dang cool! I put it in hot tap water (about 115 degrees) and came back and it was melted. Boiling water, no time at all, separates itself from the water, pour it out (carefully, don't wanna accidentally send it down the drain it's too expensive) and when it sets up again it's surprisingly strong, I'd relate to aluminum or maybe stronger when cooled. It's just fun to play with and I used to play with mercury, no problems, but I showed a friend and he freaked out! Watch some vids on YouTube, it'll give you ideas

My mad scientist is crazy about Gallium. I wasn't sure how this was going to work, but the directions and my son's knowledge have been easy to navigate. This has been a favorite of his. It's easy to use and read—just be sure to wear gloves.

It does exactly what it says it does, liquid metal he can hold in your hand. You can fool your friends and pretend like it's mercury, or you can eat things made out of aluminum. It loses its Allure after the first time you play with it though, LOL

Don’t melt it unless you’re ready for it to spill.

This is a really cool product. My kids love it and have a blast messing around with it. I will say that it can be quite messy, leaving blackish/gray streaks on white cabinets etc.. However, Windex gets if off easily
