To a point-I wouldnt do it all the time. Steve has a job that requires extensive weird posistions and welding so he needs to do this at times. Welding in an 8inch hole to fix a crack for instance- fit a helmet in there.Olivero wrote:And that keeps you protected?

A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Yeah, naturally. I bought it so I could use it for those tougher space jobs, or the small jobs that I can't bother lugging my helmet around.
Seems any time I use my hood, I damage the paint job

If the pay is right($),one does whatever it takes and don't forget the scalp with thin or no hair. Duct tape in some areas.

I use sunblock as "liquid sleeves" quite often. Only for my face, neck, and ears in the rare case I can't fit my hood in the space, but when TIG welding, I use sunblock in place of sleeves. I've done this for years. You can get sunblock up to SPF100 or something like that, but SPF 45 applied twice a day has saved me from flash-burn for many years.
Do I recommend it as daily practice? No. Your safety people will frown. I don't need it all day every day, and I don't have "safety people", so I do it as needed.
SPF does nothing for MIG spatter...

Is that the voice of experience
And also I have used numerous welding jackets that a good bit of spatter has gone through. Burns that smelled like mig welding for probably eight hours. That took me awhile to figure out why in the middle of AP calculus I was smelling welding-just my arm

My boss a former sheetmetal worker and welder for 20 years was welding an 8" piece of hydronic pipe for our building, middle of the night on his side, overhead. He's laying on a blanket, god knows why.
Hey Oliver!
What?!
Why does it smell like somethings burning?
I don't know, your welding not me.
Oliver!
WHAT?!
Am i on fire?
No Sam. But the blanket is
