Last night I was smelting some indoor range material and all was going good until I dropped in a scoop of material that had some water in it, That was the closest call to major third degree burns I have ever had.
The pot of molten lead went up like it was shot out of a cannon, as soon as I heard the pop I new what was going to happen and I dove as far as I could.
Hot lead landed all around me but none got on me, this was just about a 30 lb pot of melt.
Will never buy indoor range scrap from that guy again.
Water and melted lead dont mix, I knew that before I started but dint see any wet spots in this mix of crap.
Glad im not in the hospital.
