I've done that a few times, but not on purpose!:laughing:
Agreed... refrain from doing that at all costs:shocked:.. hey the 50 dollar auto dimming mask from Northern tool is not bad for what it is.. I have one. Granted you can get a non-auto dimming mask for less. BUT.. you will weld SOOO much better and have SO much less frustration with an auto-dimming mask.. as a beginner.
it is much easier to get the idea of striking an arc, if you can actually see...A lot of real pro's I think still weld with fixed glass hoods, but I ain't no pro.. and neither are you. yet..
