I feel for ya man but taint nuttin to anyone that's done some serious ironwork in their life. Get a welders hood with clear lens. They still find their way in but it slows them down. When you hear those welding spatters come sizzling, and rolling in your ear and embed somewhere near the drum. (ear plugs are for that too) After you've continued to be held down with one hand and and had your eyeball irrigated and picked at to find the grinding wheel shards a half hour after the eyedrops have worn off. Watched as the 15+Lb 2+hp monster angle grinder glances through the top 1/4" of flesh after grabbing a little traction from the 40lb's of downforce you got on it trying to remove that material for the last two hours. Meanwhile back to those sizzlers that drop from heaven when doing overhead work even while bundled up good. That find their way in through some crack somewhere and find flesh. Or like that bit of torch slag that just happens to land perfectly attop your boot and still have plenty of hot left by the time it reaches foot. (live and learn) Or the reason we use cotton is so that during that important certifiable vertical, or overhead weld process we can rest assured knowing the warmth on our leg, and smell of burning cotton is actually our coveralls on fire and not some other priocess in the shop just distracting us.
