[TheForge] didymium glasses?

[Justin Fellenz]

Thanks, Ron. I'll go to my friendly neighborhood welding supply store and get a set. My reading suggests that regular green shades work well and maybe better than didymium, which is good since they're so much cheaper. Seems that didymium only cuts 60% of the UV (no specs for IR) so I guess they're like sunglasses in that they make things look better but not actually safer.

  Justin, I use #2 light green flip-up glasses that are rated for Oxy-Acet 
welding and thus forge welding. I can't remember the name, if your 
interested, I will find out.
