Yeah sure, we were all young and dumb once.
I had something similar happen to my pinkie, you're going to have to get that stapled or stitched back to the end of your finger. Go to a walk in clinic, a nurse should be able to handle it.

Oh, okay. I thought you meant above and beyond regular casting dangers. When I cast aluminum, we used slightly-fine sand and packed it around the master, but it was very dry; then we dumped it into a wheelbarrow after 10-15 minutes and tossed it into the snow. I don't know if it was because of the kind of aluminum we were using (basically scraps) or if we all got lucky, but there were no issues. Surprising how lax university safety rules are.

Follow all safety procedures, though, kids. If molten aluminum gets on your legs, they gone. They vaporize.
