    Yes some good tips there.
    To get a little deeper. Welding flash is caused by the ultra violet rays, just like sun burn.
    Ultra violet can't pass threw plastic or glass, ie a welding helmet or car window. So if you do get a flash don't be to worried. You'll get the dot in your eyes for a little like you've been looking at the sun, but as long as you have glasses on or the helmet you won't get welding flash.

    And don't weld in shorts or shirt sleeve tops.. you will regret it.. and possibly be walking like a well hung young cow boy for a few days..

    Also grab a box of ear plugs. When welding a ultra high frequency noise is emitted, and although you can hear some crackle, with out hearing protection your ears will be ringing for hours, maybe days..
