Keep any and and all kinds of liquid away from the molten lead. Don't even let your sweat drip into it. It will create a steam explosion and spatter molten lead everywhere.
Sweat dripping into the pot is a non-issue.
Sweat dripping into the mold you're pouring molten lead into is a serious issue.

Water dripping on molten lead is not a problem. It's when you get water inside or under molten lead, that the tinsel fairy comes to visit (such as pouring into a wet mold, or adding a wet WW to the pot).


Saltydog, don't be surprised if your plywood catches fire.
