Nomex gloves cost about $10 to $25.
My Lee 10 pound lead pot leaks, which I understand is a "feature" rather than a defect. I found a pair of old USAF flying gloves. The inside palms & fingers are grey leather, but the backs are green Nomex. If your hand is close to the aluminum base plate when a lead droplet splatters, you'll be glad you had them on. If a more catastrophic accident occurs, it could save you from great pain.
If I could still get into it, I'd wear an old Nomex flight suit!
