    Hey Rick, It sure is a learning experience when the tinsel fairy comes to decorate your shop, isn't it? With me it was a piece of linotype I was smelting into ingots. I got a blob an inch in diameter smackdab in the middle of the left lens of my glasses. My youngest heard the boom and came running to see if I was OK. She took one look around - and it was EVERYWHERE, on my clothes the walls, the ceiling, the floor, the wood lathe, etc. - And she yells out "Mommy come see! The tinsel fairy has been in Daddy's shop and it's so beautiful!" All I got was a bad burn on my trigger finger three days before deer season opened, and the lesson of a lifetime. Safety glasses, long sleeves and pants, and check every gd piece before I toss it in the pot!

    Yeah I must admit I was a little hesitent when I first heard of it But the Cove who told me was used to fluxing 10,000 gals of it at a time in the printing industry ! I was also able to get a large amount of really good lino type from him ! I cryed the day the News paper he worked for changed from sterio type to the more moden methords of printing & sold the lino-type of to a scrap dealer that wanted the earth for it !If I'd known they were selling it I would of invested in a ton of it for my own use !
