Just to clarify the problem, didy glasses are not rated for the sodium flares that are produced working boro,especially colored glass and most assuredly fuming. You are at risk of real damage using just didymium glasses.you need a minimum of shade 3 for small boro and 5 or 6 shade for heavy boro and colors.I was / am in the same boat, and am using some cheap welding glasses until my order from Aura comes in , if ever.Ordered mine 3/24 and no sign of them yet. I've heard of people waiting 3 months to get them.I'll crack like a walnut if I have to wait that long. They're rated high among glassworkers, but there's always a problem getting the glasses in your hand.Don't skimp on the glasses due to price,I'm sure the rest of your equipment isn't junk. Get the best you can afford.
