I used it to help me decide about welders lenses to use with my kiln.I used the 2nd edition….from the library initially and now I am waiting for this newly revised 3rd edition to arrive. http://www.amazon.com/Artists-Complete-Health-Safety-Guide/dp/1581152043/ Edit: While double checking my [...] Well – I’m finally making some progress on the website redesign.
