Safety glasses

[monkeytree]

at school we are suposed to but no one does and i dont wear them at home either :evil:

I do, I think its wise to. Better safe than sorry I guess. I have had bits of hot flux land on my face, and it hurts, so I certainly wouldn't want one to land on my eye :shock:

I have NEVER seen anyone soldering with protective glasses :? ... Is is really necessary? Nothing is jumping or kicking while doing it, so y need eye protection?

... About the smoke that sometimes comes out, it can b disturbing, but a good head position would just clear that problem away ...

when i was feeding the solder too fast to a joint and then the flux started boiling and spitting chunks of hot solder around, I remember getting something in my eye while soldering, but i never found it again...

I still dont wear goggles though, but i do wear glasses.

A friend at work, many years ago, had to go to hospital with a solder splash actually on his eyeball!.

Apparently to remove it they scraped his eyeball with a scapel! :evil:

:? Makes my eyes tear just thinking about it ...
I assume he partly lost vision with that eye ?
