@Magicjeffff might be that you need put it in a fridge, or maybe you mistook galnstan for gallium. ps also maybe you had your gallium touch another metal and aaaloy

@tato312 Gallium melts at about 30 celcius so you can touch while its liquid

[tato312]

how hot must the gallium be in order to melt? i mean, can you touch it while it is liquid?
