Yesterday I wore these when casting:
EA21C596-DD0B-4852-8F9C-D9805E815441-944

The tinsel fairy swung by the house and now I'm back to using a full face shield again. Only reason I haven't is because my old shield has a crack in it and is kinda scratched up I just keep forgetting to get one. Gonna swing by the ol China freight store and use a 20% off coupon on a new one this evening.
Still not sure wtf I put in the pot. I was scooping up sprues off the work bench, dropped em in and POP. No sizzle just a pop. Wasn't water, there wasn't any anywhere nearby. Best I can come up with is it may have been a primer. Small burn on my forehead is all, welding glove blocked most of it.

After a 2 minute time out I, shakingly, got right back on the horse and cast some more boolits on my new Lee 358-125-RF. I like these boolits, they look good. Took me a while to get em pouring right but the good ones look good.

Be careful.

I just stood there for a minute wondering if there was a lot on my face and I just couldn't feel it yet.

I dislike the face shield but I'll be honest it isn't as uncomfortable anymore lol.

I too have had a "flash in the pan" myself, ya ought to try getting the stuff out of a beard!

Get you a ladle and melt the stuff first before you put it in the pot.

Are you sure you didn't have to clean anything else up after that happened...like something in your pants? ;)

Haha. It'd be two steps above frying bacon nekked on the excitement meter.
