I'm looking to make Galinstan just for fun and maybe as a project later. In order to make it I have to melt down tin and after reading a bit I was wondering how much fumes really do come off tin and how dangerous they are. And if you know if Indium and Gallium give off any toxic fumes that would be great aswell. Finally if any of these do give off fumes, how might I protect myself from them?

Just a FYI to aid in the discussion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galinstan

Due to the low toxicity and low reactivity of its component metals, galinstan finds use as a replacement for many applications that previously employed toxic liquid mercury or reactive NaK (sodium-potassium alloy).
