Wow, so that's pure gallium. No wonder liquid metal manufacturers recommend you never use it on aluminum!

- detritus 6y agoYeah, I bought some gallium years ago after seeing videos of its effect on Aluminium. I wanted to get a sense for its 'potential' during dark post 9/11 days of terrorist threats and such, adding another mental concern - "What if someone dribbled some down the side of a plane's window?". After playing with it a bit, i figured it'd be pretty hard to cause harm (you need to scratch the oxide layer for the gallium to affect ally). Worry gone, it's made for an interesting toy since :)
