Broke 0 #5 June 8, 2006 Yes the arc from electric welding produces UV light. That is why it is very important to keep your skin covered up.

Dumpster 0 #20 June 8, 2006 First experience with welding-induced sunburn, it was at the end of the day and a guy came over to my bench with a small stainless steel piece that had a one-inch crack in it. I fired up my TIG machine and glued it up, adding a little filler metal to beef it up a bit. Took all of about one minute total. I was just wearing a t-shirt (I had taken my heavy long-sleeve shirt off already) By the time I got home I was nice and red. Be sure to always wear those long sleeves, or leather, and a full shield. Just imagine what that UV can do to your retinas if it'll burn your skin that quickly!! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yardhippie 0 #21 June 8, 2006 Welding burns things. Seriously, it melts steel, aluminum, etc. Surely it will burn you. Ive had my share of burns over the years. Even when using my leathers, gloves and helmet. Ive even burned my eyes. (apparently had a crack in my lens) Now lemmy tell ya about how bad that is. Imagine washing your eyes with hot sand. Most unpleasant.

Programmer 0 #23 June 8, 2006 One time I worked with a guy who welded all day without a shirt. Next day, he couldn't come to work due to intense sunburn over his upper body. And don't wear a polyester shirt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
