Yup. All part of it. When I started furnace working, I had heat rash on my arms the day after a rental slot for the whole first year. Burns are just one of the things that you have to get used to. Not that I dont take precautions but I believe that balance is important as well. Kinda like sending the kids out to ride their bikes in full hockey pads. Balance...Not that I am a medical doctor but I suspect there is something underlying that caused the OP to not feel the initial burn. I have had a few truly horrendous burns from molten glass over the years and I have felt every bit of each.
