I would suggest you use better safety?footwear in case of splash

in the 26 years, and thousands of pounds i've poured, the only accident was when a crucible burnt through and dumped on a cement patio, when that happens, you had better run, it blows up and splatters melted metal everywhere. your right, ive poured with sandals on, and other light shoes, it is dangerous. look at some videos in utube, cast iron workers with Tshirts on.

I was making 2# hearts for Christmas presents, as handwarmers.

if you take a 2# piece of aluminum, and put it under hot tap water for one minute, it will stay warm for a hour.

I only say this because I had worked in a foundry and saw afew injuries and 1 death while there, due to splash and becoming complacent.
