I want to obtain about 40ml mercury to refill an open cistern barometer.
Any ideas for a supplier please?

www.bdh.com, or if you know someone who works in a secondary school, they
might be able to help.

Back when I was at school, you could go into any chemist and order
chemicals, and they could get them same day or next day with their
regular drug deliveries. Actually I still have some of them left.
I haven't tried doing this for ~30 years, and nowadays it would
probably get you instantly arrested as a terrorist threat...
