Well knew better than to weld without a helmet. My welding helmet broke so I figured I'd lay some blind man beads on my car. I closed my eyes and did a little bit of welding. Well that was a big mistake. My flippin' face feels like it is on fire. My eye lids got burnt too I weld without gloves all the time, in the summer I'll be out welding in shorts, flip flops, and a t-shirt and never get burnt. Well I guess the face is more sensitive to UV light This is the last time I'm welding without my trusty helmet. I bought myself a new one that is higher quality. The other one had the head adjustment band break right away and then finally the head gear busted. The new helmet has a nifty flip up lid too so it can double as a grinding shield I guess I'll have to keep slathering on the lotion and hope I feel better tomorrow.
