Beacon of Truth and Light, did you even read the request? He asked for cheap liquids above 3 gm/cc, and you give him a 2.9 gm/cc liquid that isn't:
"The price for small quantities (1 to 4 litres) of LST Heavy Liquid S.G. 2.85 is $670 US per litre + freight"
2.9 g/mL? Pffft. That's not heavy. What do you want this safe liquid for? Grind some cheap, heavy, "safe" electrium (nickel, copper, zinc, brass, bronze, silver, indium, tin, or bismuth) into dust: The smallest and smoothest like brass will flow the most like water. Soot does.-Aut
Even a slurry would be ok if it didn't entrain too much air and the viscosity could be kept below 20 - 30 cP.

Molten Tin.

Molten pig iron. You didn't specify a temp range, so I assume that's okay.
No problem--I'll do it in a centrifuge.
Any ideas help at this point.

Is the mass density important or the weight density? You could increase the weight by putting the system in a centrifuge. But if you're trying to separate something by gravimetric means, of course that won't help.
