UPDATE: It was brought to my attention a much much better way to store it. The mercury should be put in the bottle without adding water. The bottle is then stored in a bag full of sulfur. Storing it under water will inevitably lead to it becoming all gross again.

Okay, I am finally posting the mercury distillation video. This was obviously dangerous to do, so please don't try to repeat what you see here!
