, except I use one gaagre bay with the door half down, from the inside, and with all the windows open. I've never had a moth land in the pot at night, but I used to use one of those hygroscopic fluxes....then there was this oppressively humid July night, you know? And steam pressure is surprisingly powerful when water goes from 90 degrees to 600 degrees in under a second. You can see where this is going. The little splatter scars on my neck did heal up, though.It's not a bad idea to have your lead levels checked before and after you've taken up casting, but the risk of poisoning is low, unless you're very, very careless. Lead's vapor pressure is low, and so long as you wear gloves when handling it, and don't track it all over the yard and house, you're good. Also wear natural fiber clothes, and shield bare skin--long sleeves and long pants. Synthetics melt and stick to the skin when they're on fire. Oh, and eye protection.Also learn how to scrounge lead. The cost of decent equipment is dwarfed by the cost of casting material if you choose to buy small quantities commercially.
