I asked the guy who made all the fishing weights for a tackle shop I worked at what he used for ventilation given his working with melted lead all the time. He scoffed at me and explained that the lead does not vaporize, which would be the problem if you heated it a lot hotter than the melting point that bullet and weight casters use. So what he was saying I guess is that any fumes that are floating around are not vaporized lead, so don't worry about that. Breathing in any fumes other than nice clean oxygen of course probably isn't a great thing, but I don't think lead is the issue. Also, the people at NorthEast Bullet didn't have some elaborate ventilation either when I visited a few yrs ago and they were producing thousands of bullets a day!!! More of an issue there likely was the moly dust that was on everything, as they tumble the bullets in moly.
I don't think it is a bad idea to ventilate, don't get me wrong, but also don't freak out. Hell, my dadinlaw and his dad both stuck their whole arms in asbestos powder and mixed water into it to slather on furnaces a long time ago and both of them are still alive and doing great! See what THAT scare did? Basically cost a ton of money for businesses and municipalities because a tiny fraction of the pop. had issues with it. When was the last time you had peanuts on a frigging plane? Can your kids bring chocolate cookies or anything containing nuts to school anymore? Hell, can they even BRING food for anyone in the class anymore???
Sorry, rant. We're raising sensitive sissy's these days. Take your kid out and roll 'em around in the woods for a while this afternoon. Toughen 'em up. heehee...
