Gold face shield

[tuffydog]

I need a face shield, I am having some skin issues on my face and neck. I have been looking at these at Wale Apparatus. Can someone advise the best one for Boro. Thanks for the help.

Might face shields offer more protection for your eyes than didy's or boroscope glasses? I had a teeny, tiny bit of hot glass pop off a bead I was working on and it flew under my glasses and into the corner of my eye. Thank GOD it landed on skin and not my eyeball and also that it was really REALLY tiny. No visible damage done but it made me wonder if finding something with a snugger fit or better coverage woud be more beneficial.......

I wonder how some of the welder's protective gear would work?

Welders masks do not act like didys. You can get didy lenses for them, but they're pretty expensive.

While polycarbonate lenses offer pretty good IR and UV filtering, to get the yellow sodium flair filtering, you need a glass lens. The older didymium and the newer ACE lenses are glass that has the filtering properties blended into the glass itself ... it's not a coating.

The ACE lens material is not available in a sheet large enough to make into a full face shield. Even if it was, it would probably be too heavy to wear.

If you want the full face protection, you can wear a standard face shield over your ACE glasses. Or, you could install some other kind of shield ... either on your torch or your bench. But, in either case, you still would want to wear your ACE glasses.

The ACE glasses are available in a number of different frame styles; some are like sports goggles, and others are a wrap-around style. These do provide more physical eye protection.

Thanks Malcolm! I had been thinking about the possibility of getting a piece of glass under my didys OR boro shades just in the past couple of weeks........guess this is a good time to look into some additional protection!

Check out a blast shield. I was amazed at how much better my face felt after using. http://www.theblastshield.com/aboutourproduct.html

Here's a vote for Blastshield with the IR protection. My daughter Zora was getting the classic "torch face" heat burn whenever she did marbles. The Blastshield totally blocked the heat and solved the problem. She does still wear her Auralens glasses for the sodium flare blocking.
