i was casting with a large ladle (20lb) for melting, on top of a screw on propane burner. using a small ladle (1lb) to pour in the mould.
got into a good rhythm, had about 100 cast(70% or so keepers) when my ladle tipped over!
i was using my wood bed trailer as a table, and that lead went every where! got on all my good boolits too!
didnt loose much lead, just a bit that ran onto the butane lighter that was sitting there, i grabbed and threw it fast!
didnt get much splash, just pour, and run.
didnt get any on me, but i learned my lesson. im gonna buy an electric bottom pour pot now.
