Molten Metal Finds

Zinc is toxic when heated. the sickest i have ever been was when a welder was cutting a galvanized pipe with his torch. He did not tell me the pipe was galvanized (zinc) and i was breathing the fumes.

Never again do i want to be that sick. Be very careful when heating zinc and make sure you have plenty of ventelation.

You betcha! I have welded galvanized both before I knew better, and afterwards as well out of necessity(???), and am now paying the price for it! Course, the cheap cigars don't help with that either! :lol: Got a desire to remedy that situation though.
