Dear Peter,

    I read your detailed bombing instructions while remembering the many
    times I performed almost the exact procedure you described, with the
    only exception that I did the mixing under the exhaust hood of my
    burn-out oven. Back then (up to the early 80's) out catalog included
    some rings that were labeled "bombed finish". The obvious benefit was
    better evacuation of fumes, the drawback was virtually no splash
    protection for the equipment or casting room. 

    Since that time I have removed all acids and cyanides from by
    building (properly, by the way) and refuse to perform any process
    that incorporates any hazzardous materials of any type. Like you, I
    am amazed that I am here to tell the story.
