i am trying to find a liquid that is -

cheaply and easily available;
easy and safe to use - non-toxic, non-acidic;
usable at room temperatures;
with a viscosity less than 10 cp;
and specific gravity anywhere between 2.8 to 6.5...

please help?

thanks a bunch
warm regards
b.

Sodium polytungstate solutions have a density of up to 3.10 at relatively low viscosity and non-toxic. Not exactly cheap, but probably the only liquid which is non-toxic in that density range:
