When you are welding you need to cover all parts of your body, unless you want a nasty case of sunburn-type symptoms or worse.

You will also need a welding mask.... cheap ones are available widely, but spending £70 can get you an auto-darkening mask which makes life easier.

For welding mini panels, it isn't the top end power setting on the welder in question so much as the lower settings. A welder which has a setting as low as 30 amps should be ok... alot higher than that and you will find yourself blowing holes in the panels.

I learned all that and more by reading up and asking a few questions on http://www.mig-weldi...forum/index.php

Very helpful bunch

There is a guy on mig-welding that can get you a great auto-darkening helmet for about £55-60.
