A myth about water and molten lead

[lightman]

I agree, water on the surface is not a problem. Water or moisture below the surface is a big deal. Thats one of the reasons that I quit using commercial flux's like Marvleflux (Spelling ?). It leaves a crust on spoons and other tools that absorbs moisture. Before I put any tool such as a ladle, spoon, skimmer, ect into molten lead I'll float it on top for a few minutes to evaporate any moisture.

Try adding cold ingots to already working pot..., don't ask.

Volcano erupts! Splattered my shirt and pants a few times. You think I would have learned after the first time…the 3rd time I did. Goes right through my crock holes!
