I've been casting for years. I know better. It's a nice fall day, and I decided to smelt some wheel weights and try out a new mold. It's what I do most weekends. A tiny amount of water got into my lead. I'm too embarrassed to say how, but it really was just a drop. I've heard of the tinsel fairy many times, but I never dreamed she would work this way. Lead went friggin everywhere. It is a miracle that I'm not burned. I'm not saying this lightly, the stuff flew 8' feet every direction. A lot of it. I would like to humbly remind everyone to never let your guard down.
I just revised this because I exaggerated on how far it went. I just measured. 8' and way faster than I could ever move...
