Store lithium
Hi,
For a while I've been storing lithium under mineral oil, the problem is it floats on mineral oil so I made up something to keep it under the oil but
every time I have to deal with the container it's a total mess and i'm kinda pissed off now :p. Is there any kind of oil with a lower density than
Lithium so it doesn't float I can use to store it?
thanks!

Nope. Search the forum for 'cleaning lithium metal'.

I just put a lump of lead on top of the whole lot. It stays down then, and solves the problem for me.
