[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3786097, member: 15054"] I would not be bothered by a burning. Dad was a mean old drunk. One day he was attempting to make some lead sinkers. He had a 5 gallon bucket of water in the kitchen floor and well melted lead on the stove top. He told me to hold the mold over the bucket of water as he poured molten lead into that mold from the 2 quart pot. Well the mold did not fill out and he thought just the opposite of what needed to happen. I was around 13 at the time. He cooled the mold off under running water and handed it to me and said no matter what you do not move. I was on my knees on the floor holding that mold tight. He poured lead into that cold wet mold and it exploded in my face. HOT lead cooling on my face and arms but i did not move a muscle just closed my eyes and held still. He hollered put your face in the bucket boy! Glad he told me to move as it was darn hot. Went to the bathroom and peeled the lead sheets off myself. Fun times. [/QUOTE]
