I try to weld in anything made of dense material. I have a leather

anything that is dense and is nearby.

I did some searching on the web and found one can buy clothes with a
UPF rating. That is UV Protection Factor. But have never found any
such tags on the work clothes I buy at the Salvation Army ( or
anywhere else ).

I also found that polyester attenuates the UV more than cotton, but
still prefer to wear cotton when welding. I think it is less of a
fire hazard. May catch fire easier, but does not melt and stick to
the skin. According to what I found on the internet, some dyes that
look dark transmit the UV.
