Mercury is not wet because of the atomic structure of metals (metallic compounds). This structure, and sea of electrons, makes the bonds of metals so strong that while mercury is so soft that it is a liquid at room temperature; its incredibly strong bonds keep it from loosing particles. This causes it to be a liquid but not feel wet
Mercury does not wet glass due to one of it's most significant properties. Mercury will not cling to the glass that contains it.
Because as soon as it is hits the glass where it moves the place where it used to be has evaporated before you can realise it is wet
because it's a metal
As mercury has a low specific heat yet is a good conductor of heat it has been the choice for thermometers. The ease of reading is due to the fact that the mercury does not wet the walls of the glass.
The reason mercury droplets are spherical is because they do easily wet other surfaces. For this reason, mercury forms spheres, which have the smallest possible ration of surface area to volume.
Thermometric liquid is the liquid found in the thermometer that help in the up and down movement of the temperature.
Mercury is a metal unlike water which have hydrogen bonding. Mercury does not wet most substances, because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass mercury will not wet glass. Cohesion, along with adhesion(attraction between unlike molecules), can help explain mercury phenomena. Mercury has a surface energy over 6 times greater than that of water so there is a much greater attractive force between the atoms of mercury than between the molecules of water, so mercury does not wet glass.
Wet hail is hail that has a coating of liquid water on it.
Is a very heavy liquid and doesn't wet glass
The "wetting" that happens when an object is immersed in a liquid depends on the surface energy of the object and the capilary forces in action on the surface of the liquid. for example mercury will not "wet" glass but water can wet the same glass.

its density makes it quite weighty periodically its number eighty
Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.

It might be the sealer you used.
Not always. Sometimes in a store you could get oil pads which get rid of the oil. Your face could be oily though even though its not wet and it is shiny.
The definition of wet is covered or saturated with a liquid. Water is a liquid.

Dry: Free from moisture or liquid; not wet or moist. Wet: Covered or saturated with water or another liquid. Hope this helped*
