Excellent point. I definitely wear a dust mask when handling tumbled brass, especially when I'm using the media separator.Jumping Frog wrote: I am far more concerned about making sure I wash my hands, do not touch my mouth or eyes, and avoid dust from tumbling brass. Those all create more of a risk of lead poisoning than lead vapor fumes.

Re: Smelting range scrap to make boolits...
Doesn't hurt to wear a mask either, to prevent inhaling the vapors, particularly when you're pouring into ingots.threoh8 wrote:Just a safety reminder:
Melting pots and ingot molds should ONLY be used for lead. Once used for lead, they're no good for food anymore.
No morning casting session / afternoon fish fry with the same pot!
Oh, and wash your hands. Often.
