So the conclusion is: Test your eye protection, whatever it is, like the article says.

I have heard those words before but forgot about them and often get confused with the meanings. Thanks for the explanations, good read.

I have seen a lot of auto darkening helmets

Those look awesome but they are too expensive here and I always worry they will take too long to darken

I suppose there’s also the possibility that the equivalents of ANSI or OSHA or whoever sets the standards for welding lenses in your country, may use a different system or terminology than we do here in the states, which could make most of what I’m saying here largely irrelevant.

Probably. I think we are also a bit careless when it comes to safety measures. Like Ive seen DIY videos on YT that makes me think the maker is being a bit paranoid about safety only to then read the comments telling them all the other safety measures they skipped and all I can think of is “I would have done it worse” lol.

See Grrgyle’s reply. That would be mine If I could explain things as good as them.

I like to browse by “all”. And nobody is forcing me to use an instance that federates with facebook either, like I said, I’ll migrate if I have to.

I dont care if they scrape my comments I just wouldnt want to see sneaky “promoted” posts aka ads and I enjoy the idea of boycotting facebook.

Ultimately the decision is for the instances owners and admins to make, not ours. I will just migrate to one that doesnt federate with facebook if I have to.

1. Welding and soldering are the same word in my language (soldar) my bad.
2. Honestly I wasnt aware there are shades of welding mask glass, here I just ask for a replacement mask glass at the hardware store and give me the right one (based on the fact that Im not blind) still, my bad.

Guess thats why you shouldnt listen to internet randos :v

Pro tip: Use a polarized glass above shade 10 (or maybe 12) from a soldering welding mask. not expensive and more durable.

Edit: Corrected my comment according to the experts. Thanks for the corrections, although, with one was enough lol. Edit2: Whatever you use for protection, test it beforehand as the article explains c:

Ah… I didnt knew it was also a specific style of martial-arting. My bad.

Wushu means “martial arts”. Did you mean wuxia?
