Bad news, I'm now putting up a fence tomorrow...
Thanks for the replies guys.
I can get the clarke and sealey helmets from a few places, but the screens look small compared with that on the parweld one.

Maybe I ought to practice first mind. :laughing:
I used to on their mailing list, but haven't had anything through the door for ages.
I've registered for email from them, will that do or do I need to pop in store?
Hi guys.
Pointed to this forum from a vw campervan forum.
After talking about learning to weld for 20 odd years, I've decided it's time.
I've had a play with a few borrowed MIGs over the years, but nothing serious.
