I melted sulfur in an evaporating dish in the fume cupboard, then poured it onto a metal tray to set. Once it was set, the teacher then used the lumps to test for conductivity.

I melted it in an evap dish and had made a long tube out of alfoil and poured it in. When cold then it can be used for conductivity
