| Mar 24, 2015 at 22:50 | comment | added | ChrisW | The OP doesn't specify what the 'specialist' filters are. The paper I referenced claims that ordinary glass isn't (always) safe, and that "there is no generally available means of protection". OTOH I saw a Facebook picture of a cousin using a welding hood which I presume was adequate. | |
