Makes sense. We had it lying around when I was a kid (in the 1960's). We used to make impressions in clay with ordinary objects then fire up the shop gas torch

Makes sense. We had it lying around when I was a kid (in the 1960's).
We used to make impressions in clay with ordinary objects then fire up the shop gas torch, melt lead chunks in a forge pot, and pour it into our clay molds! It cooled in seconds, you could break the clay and have a lead toy. Fun!
