find a clock repairer, mercury used in some mechanisms and very hard to get may give you a few quid for it.

a bottle of liquid metal?

as in mercury?

be careful with it, is what I say. And dont drink it...its a liquid, but its heavy, it'll tear a hole in your stomach when it drops in there :lol:

As KiltedGinger says, or a barometer repairer.
Weren't tooth fillings made of mercury amalgam ?
Think crematori have to have special fume catchers to remove mercury from the smoke.

Probably wasn't a good idea to stick my finger in it and smell it then

Rub it onto pennies with finger end.
Spend the new half crowns you have just made !
Wash hands before eating food just bought or you will go senile prematurely ( I know ! )

From the same country that operated the Chernobyl plant......dont think I'll be taking any safety advice from them then :-)

The chernobyl plant, and the rest. Russian diving sets use a CO2 removing scrubber that releases oxygen as it removes CO2 ... cracking idea ... except if it gets wet it will get hot enough to melt its way through steel. And it has asbestos in it!
