Just can't see where I'm going

One remedy I haven't seen mentioned yet: this site owner also has a new welding-specific site. 'WeldingSite'.

An experienced welder on there, recommended put a dark drape over the back of your helmet to block backlight in there. You could try an old black t-shirt. If it helps, then make a drape with heavier fabric attached with Velcro.

BUY is evil vulgar 3 letter word. Men build girls buy. Real men look at catalog & steal design!

One remedy I've used when welding outdoors is to wear a hoodie and flip the hood up over the back of the helmet.

Not so strange ......... I've had this same problem when trying to plow my driveway in a blinding snow storm.

But make sure your hoods or drapes are not of flammable fabrics.

 

[the old grind]

I was welding on a FEL maybe 10-12' from where a bit of ?? landed on the windshield and stuck. It's about the size of a grain of salt, only shows when the wipers are going, and an ice scraper won't budge it.

I've used a blanket to 'make dark' when working under a car hood in bright daylight.

I ruined and fixed a side window on my Jeep, when I accidentally threw grinder sparks at it.... Lesson learned keep automobile glass away for any thing that created sparks...

Don't know if it was listed but make sure both sides of the glass are clean on your welding helmet. You would be surprised just how much that matters.

Replace front and back plastic "spatter" guards when they become cloudy to a point they can not be cleaned....
