I know you said no lectures, but I think it should be stated for others that are reading this just how toxic mercury can be. Even when you have some mercury sitting on the work bench (quicksilver) and it looks harmless enough, it is actually off gassing mercury vapor, which is extremely toxic. It will mess with your neurological functions, give erratic mood swings, and eventually put you in a coma leading to death. This is where the old saying "mad as a hatter" or the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland character came from, as the old hatters would use mercury to help form felt hats.
