I try to be safe and all, but I keep hearing different things about lead poisoning and how you get it while smelting and otherwise working with lead.
First, I smelt in my garage. I keep the door open (obviously) and open the side door for ventilation. Any smoke rising off the surface floats out the big door... but should I be worried? Is it true that the vapors don't rise high up off the table?
Second, I don't wear gloves. Should I be worried about that?
None of my lead is oxidized (at least visually).
Anyway... anything else you can tell me is welcome. I don't really love the thought of getting lead poisoning... which I've heard is incredibly painful.
