  Gallium is absorbed by other metals. Even steal. And it makes them crumble. You could walk up to a door, squirt some gallium into the lock and the lock would fall apart.

    Even steel? I thought it was only aluminum.

      Ok so I’ve re checked. It is completely possible that the videos I’ve seen only use Aluminium locks. There are people who claim it does destroy steel and people who say it doesn’t. I don’t know anymore. I would guess that it doesn’t tho. Thanks for bringing that up.
