Tried to set fire to myself...

I'm at a loss as to how you could do this, were you using insulated tweezers?

Well... I wasn't using insulated because I was soldering a pin onto an earring but I have lost quite a lot of sensation in myhands because of one thing and another so don't always feel the heat as quick as others

Hope your nail is soon better, but really you must use insulated tweezers when handling anything hot, especially as you have this sensation problem.

[lynnm]

actually as I have a fascination for soldering (just love watching the metal get hot) it is better for me with the un insulated, less chance of melting them!

How could you melt a pair of insulated tweezers?
