[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 5475130, member: 2119"] Stupidly in my twenties I used to hold a piece on with ungloved hand and closed eyes while tacking it on with no helmet as it was a hand held face guard. Now hands have patches where there is no brown pigment at all on the backs of them, just pure white. Face reddens easily and very sensitive to sun. Take all care you can folks. You only get one chance. Get the best helmet and gloves that you can and don't ever hold stuff while the welder welds it like I used to do as a kid. Stupid. I don't think you will get much damage from a few flashes though. Avoid welding in wellies with boiler suit tucked in. Had many a lump of hot metal roll down inside wellies, and stick melted sock to foot. I remember by uncle had a "comb over" hairstyle. One day he was welding under the combine and some slag burnt the hinge of his comb over through and the whole piece came away and that was it, bald an egg from that day on. [/QUOTE]
