HazMat (Mercury & Shaving Cream)

Has anyone ever used a can of Barbasol shaving cream to contain/confine a Mercury spill?

I have and I am interested in seeing what the members of the FE Community has to say.

Brian!
The shaving cream seams to hold down the product and no longer allows the product to separate. We have actually put this on our HazMat response truck. I Have done several tests with this and all of them have worked! Barbasol seems to be the only shaving cream that works. GREAT STUFF! Try some test your self, let me know how it works! My personal cell number s 740-507-8802. Feel free to give me call!
