Hello folks,
Can anybody help?
I'm interested in getting some glass ampoules of mercury, gold in aqua-regia and gold in cyanide encased in acrylic/polyester resin cubes for display. I can get the ampoules created in the Chemistry Department here, but the embedding seems a bit more difficult.
I'm aiming for something looking a bit like this:

I can find lots of suppliers online for the raw materials, and a few places who might do huge runs of material (eg for corporate paperweights) , but there don't seem to be many places offering this as a small-scale service.
Has anybody any experience of getting one-off items embedded?
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers
John
