Posted: you can dip the wool but its best not to, it burns on its own. you need a relitivly large area deppending on the wind.
As its winter tho it will most likly be wet (in the UK anyway )so it should be fine.
i cant talk from personal experience about the pain bu my lil bro who stoud in the wrong place said it hurt but not for more than a second.
Hope this helps alil and make sure you hav as many cameras on hand as possible as you will want the most possible chances of catching the perfect 2 second from the perfectangle.

Posted: If the molten steel ends up on your skin it hurts....and burns through the skin very quickly....ouch!
If it hits and bounces off though it tends to sting for a couple of seconds then the pain is gone.
As for an area....make sure you have a LARGE area and get everyone to stand well back the spray area is huge especially if you spin really fast!
DO NOT soak the wire wool it is better to light it dry....wait till it start to spark then spin spin spin!!!

Posted: you can light wire wool by creating a circuit with a battery. Saves a lot of time trying to light it with a flame
Oh and I've seen some scars from molten metal and they're pretty nasty, and not much will really stop them but if they're well contructed and free flowing the molten shouldn't have time to build up much really.
Let's relight this forum
