I recently bought a Gallium thermometer and it looks like there is a bubble in between the column where the liquid should be (split column)

Anyone have luck solving this issue? Have tried heating and centrifugal force so far

When force doesn't work the only solution......

IS MORE FORCE!

Put the thermometer in a sock and whipping it in circles atm. Not sure how else to accelerate this sucker without blowing it up.

LOL

Do you have access to a real centrifuge that it will fit into? Like at your old university? It wouldn't be hard to just stick it in a centrifuge with some foam to cushion and spin it for a minute. Trouble might be finding a large enough centrifuge.

Or you could try to rig it up to a lathe and spin it about its center axis, but that would only work if all the gallium is on one end of the thermometer.

that made me L.O.L.
