Ta! Something to piss around with while the weather is too hot to ride....
@airhead - oof! Have you the scars to prove it? I was doing a notched joint on some 18ga tube the other day. I had to use a no.5 tip to get into the corners - the sheer level of heat is crazy compared to the no.1 I use for the thin stuff....nearly set my hair on fire once or twice. I think a full face shield might be in the offing if I do much more of that.
@chak - cheers mate, it's not bad. The car is a 1963 Plymouth Fury, that is, to put it kindly, a LONG term project.
I've had metal blims pulled off my eyeballs twice. Some 'funny' stories. One time I was wearing goggles but still managed to get one in there. Finger tips used to be smooth and lacking any feeling!
