My best is having a live primer somehow getting into the boolit reject
can then pouring the rejects into the melt pot. I still have lead spots
on the ceiling and not a speck got on me. I check everything that goes
in the pot very carefully.
I got VERY lucky and only got an "S" for STUPID on the back of my
right thumb during a "brain fart" when I thought it would be quicker
to cool my mold in water!

It wasn't the cooling in water which caused my brother's
experiments in home economics, it was failing to get it completely
100% dry before pouring the hot lead onto the licence plate we used
for messing about.
