Well it's a good thing I wear glasses to start with! I was at my brother-in-laws house and he has a small 5lb lead pot and a ladle to cast with but he hadn't gotten into doing it just yet. He asked me to show him what to do so we went out and set it up on a table that came up to about my stomach. Well after explained everything we started casting with long sleeves and welding gloves on, I cut the sprue and dropped it in the pot softly and easily but it still magaged to splash a little in the strangest way. I had a small piece of hot lead fly STARIGHT UP right onto the center of the lens of my left eye. I looked at my brother-in-law and told him to remeber to wear safety glasses and pointed out the lead spec stuck to my plastic lens.
just a little safety reminder to those of us who don't wear sleeves or gloves or glasses when casting STUFF happens. Be safe out there.
