welder/welding

Another thing that makes welding difficult is safety equipment. There is no need for those big thick gloves when MIG welding. I use the thinner TIG gloves if any at all. You should wear something for the UV protection. A helmet with the biggest view is nice too.
I don't use gloves at all. If you use gas and adjust the welder right, you get very little splatter. I don't wear long sleeves......unless it's cold.
