Highlights
Quality
I love this stuff, great gift idea and lots of repeated use.
My brother used this for his project and it worked phenomenally.
This fluid is super dark, essentially black ink, and will stain anything (including stainless steel).
These pictures were taken with a 500lbs rated fishing magnet + random bolt + this ferrofluid product.
Price
For the price, the fun and learning can't be beat.

The liquid stains a container so dont play around with it on all sides of the jar
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The oneounce container of ferrofluid is more than enough if your child has a school science project or if you want to have some fun
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However please do not use the included petri dish as its too small and the only thing keeping me from giving this product five stars
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The ferrofluid will easily migrate out of the included dish and stain anything with which it comes into contact so wear gloves and goggles
