Very neat! But at such a low melting point, you aren't going to be able to use this technique in the summer.

i suppose that would depend on where you live, i doubt it's very practical at the best of time, but an intresting curiosity none the less.

Hey, I saw this earlier! Gallium is definitely on my wish list. Have you ever watched NurdRage on Youtube?

this has ALWAYS been on my wish list. i just got a clam shell from LSA so once i find an inexpensive source (doing that now), i'm gonna buy some!

Haha same here, I just love chemical compounds.

Oh yeh, speaking of NurdRage, that reminds me, don't use gallium with alluminium.

Lol, that seems like an interesting idea...
:razz:

It has such a low melting temp that it will liquify in your hands!

But if ya want to get some to play with, check out the seller galliumsource on ebay

That looks like a fun metal to play with, alltho I would not try making keys with it.
Here is another metal (I don´t know what it is) that would be more useful for casting keys:

Unfortunatly the guy in the video deosn'e mention what kind of metal he's using, he says it melts at about 90 Degrees C, the only thing I can find that melts at around that temprature and isnt particularly toxic is 'Rose's metal' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_metal

I got some Wood's metal off Ebay. Haven't tried doing anything with it yet.
