Like most here, my first time with cerrosafe did not go according to plan. I was making a cast of a 7mm Rolling Block chamber and like you was overly enthusiastic with the bore plug. I made the mistake of trying to remove the cast with a cleaning rod that had cheap crimped swivel below the T handle. When I couldn't get the cast to come out after a few light whacks I gave it big whack with the palm of my hand and the swivel buckled. Ended up sticking that skinny cleaning rod clear through my hand leaving a nifty scar on my palm and the back of my hand. Thankfully it didn't do any lasting damage and my hand still works fine with only occasional minor aches.
That's how I got my one hand Stigmata.
I did learn from this ridiculous lack of brain power and have had no further troubles casting chambers with Cerrosafe.
