    How are you melting the lead ? a bottom pour pot is probably the best way to get consistant temp and helps pouring without voids in the lead . You should flux then skim your lead to remove impurities like oxides , a lump of beeswax works well , as for moisture in lead , a drop of sweat off your brow can blow up enough lead splatter to blind you , Wear a lead fume mask if you can find one .
    Get as close as you can then six feet closer
