Subject: Surfacing granite with flame


Quoted text begins.those spalls FLY off and they're HOT.
wear safety glasses, gloves, a long-sleeve shirt.
attaching a wire mesh "bib" to the torch is a good idea.
End of quote.


Thanks for the reminder,I probably should have said something to this
effect.
I keep forgetting that not everybody suits up like a welder or even has the
leathers.I put on my welding gear to include the faceshield whenever I work
with torches,it's cheap insurance as when the hot pieces hit bare flesh they
stick and then you get caught up doing the "Dance of death" and forget that
you dropped the torch and set your cribbing or your pants leg or your
neighbor on fire thus increasing problems exponentially.
