[TheForge] Cast Iron

[Rick]

Hello again -

    Thanks for all the reply's on the cast iron cleaning.  I hadn't thought 
about needing to breathe while the lead based paint is burning in the shop. 
Already have enough sinus and breathing problems without adding to them.  I 
guess I'll just stick to the putty knife and degreaser.

Thanks again,
Rick
