[QUOTE="Guest, post: 215327"] If your equipment is aluminum I would strongly suggest you do some research on the effects of mercury on aluminum . Quote, Well, not really. What mercury actually does to aluminum, as seen in the video below, is penetrate the protective oxide (rust) layer of the aluminum, allowing it to rust much more rapidly. The mercury allows the surface of the aluminum to be constantly exposed to the air, creating a continuous rusting process that in effect eats away the metal. Of course this normally doesnt happen, as an oxide layer naturally forms on the aluminum almost instantly, protecting it from further rusting. However, mercury inhibits that process, and it looks awesome, even in time-elapsed video. End quote. Taken from.
