<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 254261, member: 121"]That problem is drastically reduced if you stop listening to the doomsayers and proceed within the original guidelines............ALL glassware in our home(s) was washed in a lead lined sink. Lead being relatively soft, most glass would "bounce" off of the sides of the sink and the rebound was lessened so that it did not crash into other pieces in the sink (NEVER more than three pieces at a time) with as much momentum as it does off of stainless, porcelain enamel, or copper, though copper was "second choice" - which is why so many bar sinks are copper even unto this exalted day and age.........................</p><p><br /></p><p>and yeah, we used the lead sink in the butlery even after all the servants were retired...........or fired..............[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
