Liquid Mercury--Anyone know where to sell it?

[ratski]

I know that this is a long shot, but figured I'd try it and see if anyone has any information.

I have some liquid mercury. Unopened, 1 pound bottles for dental use.

I know that the price of mercury has climbed in the last few years and that these things retail for a relatively high amount.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any place that buys liquid mercury?

And before anyone goes off half cocked:

1. It is not illegal to own
2. It is not illegal to sell
3. It is not illegal to ship
4. It will not make exploding bullets like in the "Day of the Jackal"

I have several pounds myself from thermostats I've saved the vials from. Interested as well to see who buys/recycles them.

You know that that is the best lead removal substance on the planet right? You could probably sell some of it over on cast boolits, sounds like you have several lifetimes supply for that though.

Yes it is. I had a leading problem in a Rem 742 Semi Auto 30-06. The mercury cleaned it right up.

The dangers of spilling some makes me thing the chore boy copper pads are much safer.

I buy some to use in my mining operations in Alaska. PM with what kinda price you are wanting. Location as well as hazmat fees are to high to ship.

Yukonjack, it's used to separate the gold from the other debris right?

 

[uncle money bags]

Yes, by dissolving the gold and forming an amalgam. After which the gold has to be extracted from the mercury.

Could it be used to remove gold plating?
