[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 451470, member: 1521"] This is not true at all. It takes ~1190deg to begin vaporizing lead, which is considerably higher than it's melting point. OSHA, and the Dept of Labor, get concerned with long term exposures to molten lead at 1000deg(to provide a process buffer). I often work in a lab with a molten tinning pot for soldering, that runs round the clock with no fan at all. This is at a nuclear site, where every square of toilet paper has fine print on it.. A Navy lab I worked out of ran tinning pots on a bench as well. But I can't vouch for the alloys(or contaminants) in Walmart/Red China lead sinkers. Nor the smoke Mobil1 can produce as it burns away. So I use box fan to push smoke/fumes outside my garage. And I would not lead dip in the house. But it's not for fear of LEAD fumes at the temps I'm working with here. [/QUOTE]
