Very Funny... The incident Dilwyn is referring is similar to yours Bill, I grabbed a soldering iron by the wrong end WHILE IT WAS STILL PLUGGED IN.. I asked a colleague in work to unplug it about 10 minutes earlier, but he unplugged the wrong plug!! See Dilwyn's text file of Murphys Laws.. Quote: "Hot soldering Irons look exactly the same as cold ones." Learnt a trick from a friend in the hospital though - soak a six inch length of brush handle or wood that is easy to grip in some cold water, then stick it in the freezer overnight - the water in the wood freezes and you get a nice grippable burn soother... This was about a 6 weeks ago, and I still have a small scar. Nasty.. Darren.
