After years of shooting and casting lead, I have just heard of a product intended to help clean hands after handling lead - "D-lead" soap. Has anyone tried this product? Results?
not to worry, it was a kinder more gentile lead back whenDarn, and all these years I've been using just regular soap.
Sure wish I was born in the 21st century so I could be safe,, instead of back in the day when stuff was killing everybody.

They make it for modern shooting. For that I think its overkill, personally. I'd be more worried about inhaling the lead.
How are you getting lead on your hands, don't you wear gloves ? I use nitrile or leather gloves for handling lead or I use tongs.
Well I do wear gloves for casting & for cutting up scrap lead for casting. Leather gloves & tongs seem a bit clumsy for loading though.
Another chealating agent for the removal of lead and other heavy metals is calcium disodium EDTA used in many foods such as salad dressing, margarine and mayonnaise. it is also found in soaps, shampoos, and detergents.
Mayonnaise, also great for a patch lube. Greatly improved my accuracy and removes lead.
Polishing brass in a tumbler, especially a vibratory one, creates lots of lead dust from the lead styphinate primer residue. That dust can coat the shop of you don't cover the tumbler. There is no way to effectively clean up the lead mess such that lead testing comes out negative.
Shooting on an indoor range exposes you to lots of inhaled lead
"Tongs" was kind of a generic term but pliers or a vice grips works. It allows me to lower the lead unto the pot without splashing. Normally I use a needle nose pliers.
To each their own.
Loading a rifle - not filling a crucible.
