“How do you stay cool while pouring 2,500-degree iron? [You try to] keep the core temperature regulated with proper


water intake, soak your shirt in water and [create] some air movement.”


—Terry Harris and Barry Braden, Farrar Corp.


“[To keep from becoming tired, you need] plenty of sleep, no big lunches (this also helps out when it’s real hot) and let your weight do the work for you. Lean away or into the ladle to move it, because trying to manhandle the ladle will only make fatigue worse.”—Harris and Braden


“Te important thing is safety. We’re in our 50th year, and we’ve learned the


importance of leggings to cover the fronts of shoes or boots, full-face shields and, sometimes, ‘canners sleeves’ (terry cloth arm coverings) to insulate from the heat if the person wants them. With careful control of moisture in sand and on chills in the mold, explosive accidents will not happen. But everyone has to ‘think safety’ all the time.”—Howell
