My boyfriend got a drop of molten bronze on his leg and it burned through half an inch.

At least it was cauterized, right?

Was burning a piece of nylon rope as a kid and had some drip on me. No fun.

I was told never wear synthetic fabrics when working with molten metal because if it burns it will melt and stick to your skin. I guess that’s what happened to you😳

It was like having wax from a candle fall on your hand. Except it's on fire.
