The second one is also a very good recommendation. I know I've had stuff burst into flames near where I was welding many times. Usually it's the acetone soaked rag that I just cleaned the area with. Occasionally it has been what I was wearing. One time it was the hood on my sweatshirt.

Yeah I actually did use acetone but i did my car over a year ago and forgot about it. I use to stick weld alot and I couldnt tell you how many times I have caught on fire. Its scary the first two times but after that it really pisses you off because buying clothes every week is a pain in the ass and also gets real expensive I should take some pictures of all the holes in my attire.

Have you ever had a weld bb go down your ear? That fuckin sucks. Imagine the sound of sizzleing skin (kinda like bacon) but amplified because, well.... Its in your ear! I also have a very good habit of wearing earplugs everytime I stick or mig weld. It will only take you one time and you will do the same.
