    curious, what liquid metal are they using?
    mercury is very toxic and absorbed through the skin
    is that what they use?
    if so id where good gloves during installation (not sure how latex gloves would do about static though)
    don't rub your nose LOL
    every time i get my hands dirty my nose itches must be psychosomatic or something:) LOL

    Hi eyemfedup2
    NaK' is an alloy of sodium and potassium. And you are right. Sodium is one of the deadliest elements on the planet. Danamics has claimed that they have made it next to impossible for it to escape the loop its in.

    In the review that was posted in this thread, I think the consensus was, "better than most, not as good as others". Then there's the whole price thingy.
