After reading the thread regarding macular degeneration, and after
hearing conflicting information regarding the dangerous emmisions of
red hot kilns I was wondering what different people with some time
spent looking into kilns have used past and present to protect their
eyes from the danger of red heat to the eyeball.
I'll start by saying that I use a pair of those boxy welding goggles
primarily used for oxy/acetylene welding with a #5 green filter.
Looking forward to more input.

Jeff,
I went to the safety supplies store and they recommended glasses used by
bronze casting workers--about eleven dollars, as I remember, but it's hard
to see the cones. Always has been for me, though.

Well, when I was first tought how and when to peek
into kilns... I was told, "when you look in here like
this, be sure to use those goggle things." as as hand
was waved in the general direction, and I havn't seen
any one but me move them, from where they were when I
left them last... Oh, sorry I saw someone looking for
the candle once and they moved them to see if the
candle had rolled under them...
Same sort of welding goggles.
Hummmmmmmm.........

When we were in England this past august we visited John Leach for a while.
Wonderful fellow. He has taken his peep hole bricks and cut a hole through
the brick and inserted a piece of tempered glass in the front so he can view
the interior without removing the brick. We liked the idea and will probably
give this a try.
