: Hi:
: Does anyone know what you get by mixing mercury, sulfur and salt? Is it some kind of toxic lubricant or grease?

Hey Ernest,
From a chemical perspective (I'm not much into alchemy) you'll end up with mercury sulfide (HgS) and mercury chloride (HgCl).
The latter is poisonous AND corrosive (so it won't make a good lubricant.) Stick with safer stuff!
