My question is on behalf of my wife who despairs of our son ( the welder)
ever having clean clothers again. What is it about synthetics and welding
that makes them need to be washed more often? I can understand the melting
risk but what else goes on?

I recently picked up a pair of Key brand coveralls at a local safety
supplier. I wanted some coveralls that were really sturdy, all cotton so
I
can weld with them on, and not have to wash 'em three times a week. I
didn't pay a whole lot, got what I wanted, and I like 'em, which is hard
for
someone with my build to say. The coveralls were the f'in' ugly things
that
plaint maintenance guys always wear, and now I know why. At any rate, I
found another place that sells lots of Key brand jeans, which looked
really
good and sturdy. Used to wear Levi's, but the price pegged and the
quality
sunk, so next time I go looking for jeans I'm going to try those on (NFI,
thank you very much!) http://keyindustriesinc.com/
