As always. Word's of wisdom from our Paul. Yes. Besides sitting naked on
your verada with a blow torch in your hand, adiquate eye protection is
mandatory. I also use a resperatator some times as well. If it's a
particularly troublesome board which is likely to give off more than it's
far share of toxic fumes.

Also if you're using an Oxy set, you need to think about eye protection
from looking at the flame. I've never done this exactly but I would assume
that you would have some problems with this.

Hope this helps.

Be absolutely Icebox.
