Safety Gear

Eye protection and safety gear for torch work. Didymium and boro-rated lenses filter the sodium flare produced when working glass in the flame, letting you see your work clearly while protecting your eyes; higher-shade options add IR protection for heavy clear work and large gathers.

Match lens shade to your torch and glass: light lampwork needs standard didymium, while big boro and quartz work calls for darker welding-shade combinations. Gloves and kiln accessories round out studio protection.
