Yep. 100 percent on the cheater lense.
On site welding with glasses and a hood and a hard hat sucks bad.
The only way to keep that mess from fogging up is to stop breathing.
I dont weld a whole lot anymore.
Im an office weeny.
My "Go too" is an old Fibre-Metal Ultralight.
Though the neck flip is getting kinda rough
But I figure that this might be a good time to share my experiance transitioning to an auto dark.
When I was getting all ready and practising to pass my 3G.
I ran out and bought a Miller auto variable shade.
Trying to get every advantage I could.
So I put prepped my 3/8 plates and did my root pass.
And I took my auto off of my head and put a flip faceshied on to back gouge my root pass.
My shield was also a head nogger.
So I took a good look at my root and was happy as hell and I head wagged the face shield back down.
Habit.
And I burried that 7018 butter rod into the root.
It took a couple of seconds.
Why isnt this auto darkening hood not dark.
Seeing stars and having blinded yourself from stupidity is bad enough.
The steroid eye drops they put in your eyes are really not fun.
The headache is horrible.
But the absolute worst part of arc flashing your eyeballs is the itch.
Your eyes itch when they heal.
It is insane and you cant sleep
And goopy eye boogers come out during thia whole process
