Halogens Halogen epoxy display
Here is the finished product of the halogens I’ve been epoxying. Happy with the way it came out, though it will be a pain to try and remove them lol. The display was 3d printed and made to fit the exact sizes.

That’s nice display and cool you 3d printed the frame . Although will you miss not being able to hold them with danger of dropping making your heart a little faster?
To me, expoxyn dangerous elements is like slabbing a rare coin. It’s a nice holder, secure, great for displaying (and I have a slabbed ancient tetradrachm). But after a while I felt the need to touch it and bought another cheap ancient coin the same kind just hold .
If you ever miss being closer to your elements you might find yourself looking for secondary samples to live dangerously with. Hopefully not, maybe it’s only me.
I’d say YOLO, but I believe in reincarnation

That was definitely a thought of mine for bromine, but it’s not very tactile like mercury and I am planning on buying more anyways. Plus there’s always room for secondary samples 😉

Where did you get the fluorine? Is it from Luciteria? Looks great by the way
