I'm almost always good about still-hot toolbits. Waaaaay back (mumble)
years ago in high school chemistry class, the instructor taught us:
"Hot glass looks exactly the same as cold glass" as one of the lab
safety rules. I've tried to keep that in mind, and usually succeed.

I was pretty good with the hot glass, but the first time I made
a medicine dropper in college chem lab, I rolled the lip to go into the
squeeze bulb, and held it up to admire, while my right hand rested
against my chin. However, I still had the triangular file in that hand,
with the tang of the file (used to roll the lip) up, so I branded my
cheek with *that*. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
