Azotiono,
Twice now you recommend an aspirator. FYI I do use a fan to blow the fumes away from me. Making an aspirator is not something I would like to do and my air compressor would not support something like that you would need at least a 20hp compressor and 100 gallon tank. Not a DIY to say the least. Now if you are talking about a respirator yea I got one.
trigfunctions,
As for the protection of my family. I do this outside where no kids will play. And I have dedicated clothing and equipment that are only used for this that stay in the garage. Plus I take a shower after I have completed my lead work. So I think everyone in my household should be fine.

Aspirator:426Scuba:
A device for removing liquids or gases by suction, especially an instrument that uses suction to remove substances, such as mucus or serum, from a body cavity.
I was talking to everyone....not at you, relax.
What are you doing it is a great safe way to work with lead.........and it is a good explanation to every else.
Stef,
I do know how an aspirator works (I worked with them in inflatable raft applications), and I was not offended. But being that you suggested it how do you purpose someone use an aspirator in this application I just don't see how one would be cost effective?

I just scored at a garage sale and got a old plumbers cast iron pot for melting lead. It has everything I need. Now just to have a free weekend to do it.
Steve. I bought my mold through my LDS. It is in the Trident book. If I recall it was only a few dollars.
