For those of yall that may be concerned about fumes in smelting/casting (such as oil burning off) I found a nice respirator at Home Depot that will filter particals and vapors. It is listed for paint and pesticide sprays/vapors, acidic vapors, asbestos, lead, and mold.
I used mine tonight and it seemed to filter the smoke from oil burning of w-w and wax flux great. With a fan blowing and outside I doubt lead vapors will be a problem but this respirator can't hurt. It was about $40 which I see as cheap insurance.
