I had a big piece of slag go into my glove and come to rest between the leather and the back of my hand and gave me a hell of a burn. Hell, I was basically constantly burned on my hands and forearms from the ages of 19-23 now that I think about itThat takes some getting used to and still sometimes i cant ignore them depends where they land. Your not a welded till you swish your ear, burn your sack, or have a hot bb make it down into your boots those all are the worst
