Metal miniatures: How to minimise the risks of lead poisoning and contamination

By Ty Gock, http://www.westernsuburbsgamesociety.com, Quakers Hill, Sydney, NSW, Australia
based upon \"Beware the Lead in Leadlighting\" by Dr Marc Grunseit, The LEAD Group

[LID 7446]

Wherever possible please buy lead-free miniatures. Where this is not possible the following measures will help minimise the risks of lead poisoning and contamination.

    * Never prepare and undercoat your lead metal miniatures in the home eg: the sunroom table or the spare room. Use a dedicated space outside the living area eg: garage, garden shed, ideally locked. Keep all your materials out of reach of children, in covered containers.
    * Wear dedicated protective clothing and old shoes which you leave in the workspace, particularly if it is dusty. Cotton gloves are a good idea when handling lead.
    * Never eat or smoke in the work area or until you have thoroughly washed your hands with an industrial strength hand cleanser and dried them on a disposable towel.
    * Miniature preparation work and undercoating should be done in a \"dirty\" area.
    * This \"dirty\" area should be a dedicated containment area permanently enclosed to keep out children and pets. When filing, drilling or modifying miniatures, set up a draught (good ventilation) which will blow the lead particles away from you and draw fresh air from behind. Ideally, if doing a lot of preparation work on lead miniatures, install an extractor fan. Portable, desktop units are available. Gloves and a mask are advisable. Wipe down and clean using Sugar Soap when finished.
    * Before filing, hand drilling or modifying, secure miniature in vice/clamp and wet miniatures first to minimise dust.
    * Always seal miniatures as soon as possible in undercoat and base them before painting to minimise handling.
    * Clean your workspace regularly with water and Sugar Soap. Do not vacuum as this only spreads the contaminated dust more effectively. Clean the handles of your tools. Try to keep the workspace as neat and tidy as possible. Cover shelves and close cupboards. Leave the fewest possible open spaces which can gather dust.
    * Contaminated rags should be separately washed, as with protective clothing, in liquid Sugar Soap. The washing machine should then be washed out with the Sugar Soap and spun before use for other clothes.
    * It is recommended that pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and the parents of toddlers postpone the practice of this hobby.

Remember: You respect hobby knives because they are sharp and can cut you. Lead is soft and blunt, but it can kill you

Heutzutage verwenden die Hersteller meines Erachtens keine Legierung mehr, die Blei enthalten. Die Sicherheitshinweise sind zwar nicht verkehrt, wenn ich aber die im Anglo-Amerikanischen Raum typischen Hinweise lese, dass Messer scharf sind, denke ich mir meinen Teil.

Hier mal eine Info zu den Legierungen, die heutzutage verwendet werden:

Gut zu Wissen das es ungesund ist beim Figuren anfassen zu rauchen :sm_pirat_schreck: .

Vielleicht stehe Frauen/Freundinnen unserem kleinen Hobby DESHALB so skeptisch gegenĂŒber...meine jedenfalls guckt immer ganz mitleidig, wenn ich in Tiefseetauchermontur mit zwei 28mm-Figuren in den dicken FĂ€ustlingen in Richtung hermetisch versiegelter Bastelbaracke wanke :rolleyes:

naja sicherheitsanweisungen sind doch oft lustig nicht nur bei Minis !! sm_party_joint Mich wunderts nur das zBsp selbst Foundry teils wirklich geniale Fehler macht obwohl es in England eigentlich einfach einen gut Deutsch sprechenden Menschen zufinden... ;(
