The green goggles work fine, and are mainly there to block the infra red. A full mask is recommended to stop the bits of hot metal burning your face, though. I see. What can infra red do? Is it harmful like ultra violet? Stand near something hot, it is radiating infra-red at you. When you hold your hands up in front of the fire and say "Oooh, that's nice and warm", your hands are detecting infra-red. Which isn't harmful, as you say ouch and go back a bit if there's too much. It would seem the eyes aren't so well equipped. -- How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? |

You're the dimwit. I asked a simple question. So are questions not allowed in uk.d-i-y? Does everyone have to know everything? If so why have the group at all? You're the one claiming to have a physics degree -- |
