BBK Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Heres #1! I took my gloves off to open a package and stirred the pot without even thinking. Drop of lead flew out of the pot and landed right on my finger. I flung my hand but the lead stuck to me, I pulled it off with hemostats and my skin came with it. I don't know if you can see it or not, but there is a hole in my finger down to the 'meat'. I quickly unplugged the pot and ran inside to put burn ointment on it. It still hurts.

Peterjay Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thanks for the reminder. I've caught myself absentmindedly working without gloves a few times lately. Gotta put up a sign over the workbench. Skin is no match for molten metal, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Had a few of those, after a pour I have a drip cup that goes underneath and helps stop that. Just keep ointment on it at all times and keep it clean they heal up quick. Fatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
