hi which is the lightest shade no 1 or 5 I need a new pair light as possible

Higher the number, the darker they are. No. 1 would be a brazing shade

I’ve just bought some replacement glass for the Vark. No 5 was for brazing. No 1 were plain glass

Dark glasses will do for brazing if you don't have any goggles handy.

trouble is I wear ordinary reading glasses for close work so need goggles to go over them

Get some clip ons, you'll look cool as well

I wear glasses as well so goggles are not really an option. I bought a green tinted faceshield from BOC, no doubt they are available elsewhere probably for less money too. It doesn't fog up like goggles when you're getting a bit hot and sweaty.

I did check for my old gas goggles. Couldn’t find them unfortunately. Googled images but no luck. One moulded piece. All round vision and comfortable too.
