Used to get a similar thing with lead when recoring a rad or cleaning out a seam to re-solder it. You would be heating the seam with your torch and a bit of trapped antifreeze would boil in the seam and cause the lead to shoot at you once it became liquified. It used to get stuck all over my t-shirts and jeans... even got it in the eye a few times which sounds worse than it was because the little drop of lead would be cooling just as it hit the wet surface of your eye... YIKES!!! Why didn't we used to wear safety goggles back then, eh!!! That was about... uhmmm... 20+ years ago... funny how we didn't worry about fumes, lead, getting shot in the eyes, etc..... ...The times they are a-changin'.... (Thank goodness....)....
