Sounds like the cable splicer's method of testing the lead.  If you can cut
it with your hand, it's hot enough.  Apparently, a clean hand without
jewelry can be quickly dipped in and out of the low temperature melting pot
cable splicer's use for making swipes on lead sheathed cable.  If there is
anything on your hand to which the lead can cling, you get second and
possibly third degree burns.  I'll just test it with the dipper, thank you.
