Jumping into Hg wagon, here's my story. During my apprenticeship I noticed the small glass jar of mercury salvaged from old manometers. Marveling metal properties, my mentor took the soldering iron and molt a drop of solder with mercury. Resulting lump of metal had interesting properties: dull grainy appearance, I was able to separate it to small drops just by rubbing between fingers but with some material resistance. Some years after I fell in love with tube glow. Can't tell if mercury vapor(s) helped with process or not.
