When I was in college, I had a part time job that had TIG welders around. I
would spend my supper break learning to TIG. One night I was wearing a
particularly threadbare shirt, and when I took it off, I had a white stripe
down the middle of my chest where the button reinforement was, and darker
sunburn everywhere else. You CAN get burned through clothes, no matter what
the OCC guys do.

Man, Ernie, you aren't kidding! Before I got my welding jacket, I
got a nasty sunburn through TWO layers of clothes!
