A small drop of sweat or water that falls onto the surface of a pot is not likely to produce molten lead spewing everywhere, however it can happen as we see by your post. A drop of sweat or water that manages to get under the surface will produce molten lead spraying everywhere.
Somehow the sweat managed to get beneath the surface. It was a real attention getter wasn't it? I have seen this happen before, up close and personal. Once I was casting hollow points and a very small bit of water was trapped in the hollow point's cavity. When I stopped to do a little culling I tossed the wet hollow point back into the mix.
BOOM!!! Out it came and it came out fast, very fast. Fortunatly I was about three or four steps away whan it went off. The bulk of the spray missed me.
Taught me a lesson.
