PIFFLE! Do you never cast bullets?
IF you're concerned with breathing lead fumes, wear a mask.
But anyway... lead doesn't melt close _enough_ to 700F to properly do the
job. Even Super Hard doesn't melt much above about 650F.
As far as "sticky" ???? You've never heard of smoking a piece; right?

I guess he felt it necessary to pass along the warning.
As for smoking a piece, I dunno, Lloyd.
If I did I don't remember it!
It's so damn hard to keep them lit, too...
