Line 210:
* Overalls are required for UV protection
* We have special TIG gloves that are much lighter and less stiff than normal welding gloves which can be used because TIG doesn't generate very much radiant heat or spatter. These gloves are made of goatskin or pigskin and are specifically reserved for TIG welding and must not be used for anything else
* Welding masks will protect your face and eyes from the UV light
* Depending on the welding current you may want to use shade 9-12 on the welding helmet. All settings will save your vision, you're just adjusting for best visibility. If you're used to MIG/MMA then go one setting darker than you normally would for this current. Make sure the mask is clean, dirty lenses will make this a lot harder than it needs to be.▼
** Test the visor before use
** Change the cover sheets on them if necessary, report it if we're out of properly fitting replacements

* You may see people online welding without overalls or even without gloves. They can get away with this because of the low-spatter nature of TIG welding. DO NOT DO THIS - They are probably wearing SPF-1000 sunblock and have developed a tolerance over years, they'll still probably wind up getting skin cancer from it! Cover all exposed skin at all times while welding.
