I know what you are saying.I used some heavy duty MIG welders before and that stuff gets on the plastic lens real quick.Ive tried it with a plastic cover over the glass,and then I would take my hood with me to the bathroom and wash it off several times a day,but after 2 or 3 days you cant get all of the haze off of it any more and its just hard to see through. You are kind of out of it right now.Once you get a little more time with a MIG you will set it to where you dont have so much spatter.Or weld so it doesnt get on your cover plate is probably more accurate.Snip that wire every time helps too.Also weld a long weld.Starting up is where you get the most spatter.You also need real good gloves where you dont feel the heat.You will be surprised at what difference gloves make.A welders hands are as important as anything else in what he does.If your hands are getting too hot its hard to concentrate on doing a good job and that might be causing some spatter,I dont know.Ive welded as far as I could which was maybe a foot and a half and had to throw my gloves off because they were smoking hot and burning my hands.Id let them cool off and do it again,cussing all the time.I hate to use those big welders like that!I seemed to always get to use them because I would weld until my gloves were smoking.Most people would weld about 6 inches or less and try and get on another job.Since I was the low man on the totem pole I would get the job then.So since I hated to do it I would do it as fast as I could so I could go do a different job with a welder I liked.I spent 2 weeks one winter straight welding with that big machine.It was a long time ago and I still remember it,so it made an impression on me.I can forget something I did last week,but I havent forgot welding with that welder.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
