Hi everyone,

This is a VERY important thing for people to know. From Noob to Pro. This applies to everyone who welds on ALL metals with ALL processes.

Remember, Welding Smoke is from things burning in the weld or on the metal and may be visible, Welding FUMES are from simply heating metals to melting points and are NOT always visible.

Read this, who ever you are and protect yourself. Remember ventilation doesn't have to be a complicated, expensive system. Often open door and fan are a start. And an APPROPRIATE respirator is NOT very expensive option.

Please check this out because it is very simple to look after yourself.

When ever I read "Known in the State of California to cause cancer" I am relived.

Because I am not in California.
Welding everything from the crack of dawn to a broken heart.

I once read a statistic that said most accidents occur within five miles of home. I moved immediately.
