I stand corrected.............

Spent most of Sunday stick welding with my ebay cheapo.

Got a belting head ache today right behind my eyes. Did in about 20 rods so not a massive amount. I used it on full sensitivity so no delay at all. Must be the filter.

Its in the bin...........

Just one question, was your mask rated for stick welding? when you recommended it before were you stick or mig welding?

cheers

I only have a stick welder. It was fine for the odd rod but burning 20 over a few hours gave me the problems.

I was doing other stuff like grinding and the occasional thrashing with a hammer so I could have just got some **** in my eyes but they did feel strained with the pain behind them.

Not too bad today but still a bit sensitive to light. Ive been driving around all day with my sun glasses on.
