Hi there,
I have always used a torch when making jewellery but recently the
oppertunity to try out a micro welder came my way and boy!! have I
fallen in love with it.
It’s abilitys with detail are next to none and I am very tempted to
purchase one. To be honest I have never felt too easy about using
gas,
it cant be good to be around no matter how you look at it so I am
looking for an alternative and right now the idea of using a micro
welder is very attractive to me. But, before I jump in and buy one I
would really appreciate some helpful advice and feedback from those
of you who use one, perticularlly on the safety aspects of using one.
- Should I wear a mask when welding?
- Are the fumes very harmful?
- Would an open window be enough air flow or should I at all times
use an extractor fan?
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to reply to me.
Sincerly
