I think that I may change my solder temp!

I have about 80cc of gallium in a bottle.

Bet that cost a pretty penny. I love gallium so much.

Bet that cost a pretty penny. I love gallium so much.

I looked it up and 80cc of gallium is almost exactly 1lb of Ga(470grams)

Back about 4 years ago, Ga prices online were about $80-$100 per oz. for Ga! I found some guy on Ebay liquidating his element collection 4 years ago for economic reasons, and I got about 60g of 99.99% for $50, but that was way below average.

But now it's apparently gone down, so at Rotometals you can get 100g of 99.99% pure Ga for $82, and 500g for $364. Thats still close to the price of silver though. Galliumsource.com has it for $384/500g for 99.99%

It's odd that there are now gallium stores that specialize in Ga sales

My niece still thinks i'm amazing for melting metal in my hands, and it doesn't burn me.

Uh yeah, about that... I probably MEANT 80 grams and had a brain fart.

I bought this

Amazon.com: Gallium 99.99% Pure 100 Grams: Industrial & Scientific

and have wasted about 20 grams of it trying stuff.

I didn't mean to make you guys think that I was hoarding gallium.

I too, love Gallium!

I havent had any for many years but at one point I had the chemical company my family partially owned buy me 10g of it. Boy that stuff was fun. Family sold the company and over the years I misplaced it or my family got rid of it when I moved out (I can't remember). I've been wanting to get some more but it has been expensive.

I do keep silver bullion and would be willing to trade gram for gram 1 troy ounce silver for ultrapure (99.99% or more) gallium if anyone would be interested.

Gallium is also used to alloy with aluminum at about 10% Ga ratio... you can put a tank of water with this Ga, Al alloy inside, and it will constantly produce Hyrdrogen for your car!
