Getting molten sulfur out of a beaker

Berrilium - 4-6-2012 at 07:21

I melted some sulfur in a beaker and now it is stuck to the glass, i tried burning it to convert it to SO2 but that didn't help.

Since it is a non-metal acids won't work

Dissolve it in toluene.

Hot toluene does the trick, I agree :)
