Not all that good my shop stopped using that. Our solution was PAM. 
just needs a good wipe with acetone before any painting. PAM works for lots of stuff, spray it on my English Setter before I go bird hunting and when I get home all the burrs and stuff just brushes out without getting all matted in his fur.

I don't think "anti-spatter gel/nozzle dip" is a worthless fraud....
it works good, the Lincoln stuff I use, "says" non toxic, and besides, your wearing your 3M respirator right?

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Kimball Midwest has a CRC brand spatter spray that is water-based. Works great on carbon steel, good on stainless. In cold conditions, warm the can. Be aware that the water (though not much) can give porosity at the start, if it's trapped by, say, a backing bar, but this has been rare in my experience.
That said, MC is highly volatile, and evaporates very quickly. I worked with pure MC for some time (working with plastics at a job in college), so I probably saw "lab rat" doses with no ill effects. The small quantity in a spatter spray, with the fast evaporation, with good ventilation, is extremely unlikely to do you any harm.
It does have a "prop 63" warning, "known to the state of California to cause...", so just don't use it in Cali...

Hey,
We have a brand from Austria called Protec, water based, smells like lemons. Greenish white in colour.

That chemical is not good for you without heat, and add welder heat even worse.
See the link I have posted, I believe welding on any chlorinated chemical is not a good idea.
I like the Pam Idea that was posted.
I have used a lot of MC (work)and most of it with a ventilation hood to remove fumes and not with welding heat.
