Hi All -
I ran out of welding gas last night and did not realize it until about 10 minutes after it happened. I thought I had just hit a bit of dirty metal, as the molten hot lava sparks began burning holes through my jacket (then my shirt… then my t-shirt… ). Is it still cool with the younger generation to have yourself branded? If so, I am marginally “hipper” this morning…. and a pretty darn good dancer too. Stupid British cars (stooped guy welding...) So, I was thinking of ordering an actual welding shirt. Lots of them for sale on line, just curious if anyone had any recommendations for what works best. Thanks! Scott S |

While no substitute for the real thing, a Nomex (e.g. Simpson) turtleneck should be better than nothing...
If I'd followed my own advice while using a torch to loosen very stuck exhaust flange studs I wouldn't have several melted places in my formerly nice polypropylene pullover... |
