Hi all,
I know most of us are in holiday mode or too busy before getting into holiday mode.
Does anyone know whether Gallium is banned in schools? It is not in risk assess or the CSIS manual.

Thanks

Not sure! It is solid at room temp but melts in your hand (with gloves on) to a liquid.
I have some here but only found info on Chemwatch. So I thought maybe it was banned.
