I'd appreciate some expert advice regarding safety glasses for looking in
my peeps. I went to Home depot to purchase some welding glasses & they
don't carry them (darn lawyers) so I went online. The folks at
BIGCERAMICSTORE.COM have a pair of UV & INFRARED A&B safety glasses for
$15. They advertise them as "for looking in kilns."
I purchased a pair & now have some concerns because the box only mentions
ANSI Z80.3 regarding UVA & UVB. No mention of IR.
Can somebody out there tell me definately that I'm using an adequate filter
to look in the kiln at cone 6? I make my living driving big airplanes &
these eyes are good for more than cone watchin'
Thanks in advance,
Timo

Go to your nearest welding supply store!
Purchase a pair of Oxy/ acetylene goggles.
I like the ones that have independent eyepieces.
You can separate them so the welders cannot steal them:)
PS Stay away from those hardware stores in a box. Support your locally
owned businesses.

Tim,
Check with Arnold Howard at Paragon. I bought a pair that he recommended
for about $15; they are wonderful. Arnold's email is:
ajhparagron@yahoo.com.
Also check Arnold's other advice on reading cones; he ought to publish it.
It is in archives.

After having swollen eyes a day after peering into my kiln several
times, I ordered the right glasses- didymium glasses used by warm glass
workers. They cost me $40.

Marc Ward of Ward Burners has some gold-plated, blue-lensed kiln-viewing
glasses that are really great. It's much easier to see the cones in a
hot kiln than with typical welder's -type glasses. Picked some up at
NCECA and was wowed at how well they worked. I don't have Marc's contact
info in front of me, but I'm sure someone on the list does. As I recall
they're about $40.=20
