Sigh. Always test cast iron of unknown history. Any wall mounting tips lol?

Probably, but you should be wearing PPE anyway. And washing your hands like it has lead, even if it doesnt.

Generally microscopic particles of silica, metals, paints, oxides, etc. aren't good for you

My point is it would spread the contamination around. RIP sandblasting place, no? All the objects around, would all receive a thin veneer of lead.

not all sandblasting is ghost busters style though. Plenty of smaller units in use that have some pretty extensive filtration add'ons for just this type of situation (think sci-fi medical glass-box with glove inserts you stick you hands into and where the alien eventually breaks out of).

Thank you for the explanation and the mental imagery. I'm a big Alien fan.
