Don't want to bug Mike with all that's going on in his world right now....so - anyone know where I can get #3 or #5 welders clip-ons to use with my AU2000 lenses?? This whole boro thing is really freaking me out!

The welding supply stores should have them. Hopefully you have one in the area, if not give Mike a call on Monday. I'm sure her would be delighted with an order.

I tried a welder's mask and couldn't see a thing! Then I tried to modify, thinking I needed to wear them over my didys. My nose had nowhere to go, so I had to bridge them out but the corks kept popping off, I cut the bridge of my nose and the rubber bands would snap me in the head and get caught in my hair:

My suggestion - get the boro glasses and save yourself the hassle. I love mine!

It's not the prettiest, but I bought some welder's goggles (around $10), popped off the ear pieces and used a twistie tie to attach them to my auralens glasses at the bridge. (couldn't find the duct tape, LOL). You will have to change them periodically as Mike says the plastic lenses lose some of their effectiveness over time.

If you want the flip-ups and they don't have them at your welder's supply, just ask them if they will order you some. I've special ordered things from mine before. Also, I think that Wale apparatus used to sell them.
