I wonder how they use mercury to do tanning (and making hats)?
I have seen mercury and held samples, and it is literally liquid metal at room temperature

I have several old thermostats with mercury switches.
Fun stuff.
I believe that the mercury was simply rubbed in to the skin. It would make the skin shiny and protect the skin from bacterial attack.
