Gallium Liquid Metal 50 Grams, 99.99% Pure Melting Gallium - 50g Vial, Syringe, Silicone Mold Cubes, and Complete DIY Science Experiment Guide

And it looks, smells and acts just like gallium!

This stuff is SO MESSY! We’ve been cleaning it off every surface in the house since my son got it. Walls, the deck, the sink, clothes, arms, legs, face, hair. It’s a total pain in the a$$. It’s cool otherwise but skip the 2 minutes of “wow this is neat” for the hours and hours cleaning up messes and ruined clothes. Dropped a few flecks on my toe this morning and check my pic for the result.

I bought this kit for my 10 years old son, because he is an experiment geek. I am a chemist. We managed the experiments well, because we have some other equipment at home. It is fun, but not really simple.

Bought it for my 8 year old for Christmas and he loves it!

Just as I thought-makes a mess. My child begged for this for months. I waited until Christmas, and against my better judgement, I got it. I knew it would not be as great as he hoped. It has to be heated to become fluid. However, it dries very fast and becomes a hard or crumbly mess. Hard to get off surfaces. Left a gray smear like pencil lead all around the kitchen. It will wipe away with a little scrubbing.

Son just loves this! It’s easy to melt and mold and never really any mess. He always melts it in a bowl with warm water. Wash up and clean up is a breeze. It’s been a hit with all his friends.

I mean it is what it is. A melting metal. Its gets everywhere. Even with adult supervision its super messy. Leaves residue every where. And god forbid you drip and its gets on your couch or rug. It aint coming up.

For all the people leaving 1 star reviews because your kids made a mess. This is not an issue with the product but an issue with your expectations and knowing nothing about the the element. Dont buy some random element your kid saw an experiment with without researching it. Furthermore you should be supervising use. 1 star parenting.

Its super fun to use and i made gallium cubes for my desk ( after a hot summers day i decided to place them on a small plate ) cleanup was easy just scrape it onto a plate and wash in warm water to remove the crud
