> 3 dayEverything I have seen online makes it look like it melts in your hand like chocolate on a hot day. In reality it took quite a while to melt, at least for me. I guess that makes sense. Ice takes a while to melt and your hand is 50f or so above the melting point. For this it is only a few degrees at best. In hot water it melts fairly quickly but takes a while to solidify. Still cool.

Greater than one weekThis worked like the YouTube video my son saw & was well enjoyed. It does spread easily so keeping it contained & cleaning up careful were very important. Pricey for such a small item but he used gift money & thought it was worth it.

> 3 dayWhen you first get it, and it is in the tube, your best bet is to set the tube in some hot water, as it will take awhile for the thick cylinder of gallium to melt. But, then you can pour it out and play with it. It is messy, and will stain pretty much anything it touches. So, be careful where you play with it. You can use the syringe to pick up the liquid. What we did was to have a container of cold water ready, when we were finished playing with the liquid gallium. Place the liquid gallium right into the cold water, and it will re-solidify. Then, you can just pick it up, and put it wherever you want to store it. Once you have thinner pieces of gallium, it is pretty easy to melt it in your hand.

Greater than one weekI bought this for my 11 year old, who loves it. However, it stained his hands, and everything that came in contact, or indirect contact with. Even after washing his hands vigorously, the grey stain transferred to his entire body, clothing and furnishings. It does clean off surfaces with more pressure than the description claims. He is still trying to wash it off his body after two days. Definitely not recommend for children. It has been thrown in the garbage after one days use and $40 spent.

> 3 dayIts fun to play around with and experiment, but the syringe kinda sucks at gathering it all and you have to be careful about keeping it away from other metals.
