I've been hedging my bets and wearing one of those face-masks. Is this necessary (I'm outdoors, but can still get in the way of the fumes)?
Cake and fine wine!

It is always worth taking precautions, even with a fan that is almost sucking the lead out of the pot we wear masks (designed for fumes not dust). It is the lead oxide which is produced during the melting process and when impurities are removed by fluxing that is the main problem.Originally Posted by Mousemann
