I found this on Wiki:-"Gallium readily alloys with most metals, and has been used as a component in low-melting alloys. A nearly eutectic alloy of gallium, indium, and tin is a room temperature liquid that is available in medical thermometers. This alloy, with the trade-name Galinstan (with the "-stan" referring to the tin), has a low freezing point of −19 °C (−2.2 °F).37 It has been suggested that this family of alloys could also be used to cool computer chips in place of water.38 Gallium alloys have been evaluated as substitutes for mercury dental amalgams, but these materials have yet to see wide acceptance.Because gallium wets glass or porcelain, gallium can be used to create brilliant mirrors. When the wetting action of gallium-alloys is not desired (as in Galinstan glass thermometers), the glass must be protected with a transparent layer of gallium(III) oxide."

Q: are gloves necessary to wear or can i just hold it, also to get it back in to a soild what do i do where do i store it

Gallium is non-toxic and can be held in your hand without gloves. However, it can leave a slight oily residue behind (though this washes off fairly easily). The metal comes in a small plastic box, which is fine for storing it in when not in use. The metal will naturally solidify once it cools.

Q: How to become a liqute?

Raise the temperature above 29.76degC. This can be done in a hand, but may stain hand with fine grey metal. Or, place in preferably a plastic container and lower into warm water. Plastic is best as glass is "wetted " by the molten gallium. Also it expands on re- freezing, and might therefore crack a glass container.

Q: do i need to wear gloves to use it?

No you don't need to wear gloves but I would advise to wash your hands after, for it can be bad if you eat it ;)
