I’ve wanted to cast the LIQUID METAL, mercury into a some sort of figure for a long time and I happened to find a
large gummy bear mold . Mercury is over 13 times denser than water, so this gummy bear weighed a LOT.
I used dry ice to freeze the mercury. It took several hours to freeze the mercury. The melting time was about 11 or 12 minutes. Mercury is the ONLY metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is somewhat hazardous. (compared to playing with nitroglycerin, I suppose)
