It would float…and spray most likely. Wear protective gear.

Definitely would spray, mercury has a funky effect on aluminum, you should look it up on YouTube

Wow, that is interesting. Never heard about metal amalgamation. Gives some more tangible backing to the word for me now.

You think it would cause vibe?

The aluminum definitely takes the brunt of it. Though, I’d guess if the oxide layer protects the AL, ano might totally insulate it from amalgamating.

Ano would most likely insulate it I think too, would have to be a freshly sanded throw I think, if I remember correctly any oxide layer inhibits that process greatly

Still cool though. I remember in junior high the earth science teacher passed a beaker of Hg around with a rock floating in it. Half of the kids (me included) were not careful about avoiding touching it. I think I even dipped my pen into it to see if it would “plate” it somehow. I can hear voices in my head saying “that explains a lot” haha.

That’s really cool, I’ve never had the opportunity to mess with the stuff myself, I saw a video once of a large anvil floating in a pool of mercury, extremely buoyant like a life jacket in water, that was pretty wild

Amazing. IIRC the rock was floating at the top like it was a balloon on water. I didn’t imagine mercury was that much more dense than steel, but I guess it is.
