You mean the glue/resin/filler type of epoxy stuff? Or actually a bottle of liquid metal?
The glue stuff has loads of uses, mercury, I dunno I think its only practical use is as a tilt switch if you fancy blasting anything into the middle of next week...

So, if it's liquid at normal room temperature, it's Mercury - keep the lid on. It's not just a cuddly bottle of fun, it can be pretty nasty stuff, and is poisonous. However, if you do want to play with it, marvel at the way you can make cool silver globules on a mirror and then make them all into a bigger silver globule.
Alternatively, if it's only liquid when you're sat in the sun or have the heating on full, it could be Francium, Caesium, Gallium or Rubidium. If it's Francium, put it in a thick lead box and bury it several miles deep. If it's Caesium, keep it away from water. If it's Gallium, it's reasonably safe just to go 'oooh' and watch it melt in your hand. If it's Rubidium, keep it away from Oxygen and water in case it goes all violently reacty |
