Its only bad if it gets more than a few inches below the melt. I had tensile fairy visit when I forgot to heat up the ladle. It had corrosion on it that had moisture in it still. Stuck it to the bottom of the pot without thinking. Boom!

"don't put water into your melt or it will explode all over your face and you'll look like nasty dude?

That guy is an idiot.

I agree

Not much will happen unless the water gets under the lead.

He may be a member here. That would be real funny.

He will learn the hard way.

Wow. That's just plain stupid. There's firtin' with disaster, then there's this. Good way to loose some hide.

Being a life long Southern Boy I recognize a card carrying member of the "Hey, hold my beer watch this" club. Unfortunately it appears to have multiplied and thus passing his showcased intelligence along. Good job dad, you make us all proud!
After thought- He is making boolits, that means he's reloading. I wonder what marvelous things he can do over an open powder jug? Maybe that is why I don't like being next to people at range? hmmmmm?

Now fill a bit of lead pipe with water seal the end and drop that in the pot. Guys an idjet

One day he will get a lesson that will be a 'significant emotional event."

And he wont be able to say the F word for a few seconds, because the pain will overload his speech process.

What in the wide world of sports! I can't watch stuff like this. It makes me sad.

Guy is an idiot! Just because it didn't happen in his very extensive test doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It very much exists and I had it happen once. I was pouring ingots outside and right as I was pouring lead into my angle iron ingot mold a drop of water off a tree branch dripped into my mold. As I'm watching the lead run towards this single drop of water I'm frantically backing away when BOOM! I didn't get any lead on my glasses but my coat and hat had plenty. I'd guess not more than 40gr or so of lead was expelled and it scared the daylights out of me. Can't imagine what a whole pot would be like.

If your ingots have been stored outside and rained or snowed on, the cavity that always forms just under the skin of hardened lead will contain water. I had one cause a steam explosion that ruined my new sweater I just received for Christmas.

1 tea cup of water will change to 10,000 tea cups of steam. Ratio very bad when in wrong place. That steam has to go somewhere, in a boiler, controlled, that’s good. Under molten alloy, be it lead, aluminum, or whatever, 1 drop will go to 10,000 drops very quickly. Be careful.

[robg]

Steel works have been destroyed by water in the wrong place.

[lightman]

His cameraman is not very good either! It made me dizzy trying to watch it.

[Spiffy7]

I have heard it said that wisdom is learning from others mistakes

few bricks shy of a load he is

[JSnover]

All that popping and lead splattering was all the proof I'd need, but as he said before signing off:

"This is uh, the guy disproving the... thing."

Idiocracy
