Default Re: (nearly) ready to start welding

My tip

when the arc eye hits (and it will) and you feel like somebody is trying to drive 6" nails through your head do not get p1ssed. You will feel like a right nob sat in a&E unable to see and the staff thinking you are yet another saturday nighter. The drops help, but when the pads go on with the don't remove for 24 hours. have somebody about to make your brews and a butty and then imagine what it would be like to be blind.


Tip no2

Check what is behind the plate you are welding, Having melted looms that run through sills. and when the carpet sets on fire whilst you are under the car it is handy to have somebody to tell you to get the feck out.
