Can anyone point me towards a good, inexpensive respirator for using when Arc welding? i've noticed a fair bit of fumes seem to come up the bottom of the mask when I get in close. I tend to hold my breath, but would like something a bit more practical.
I'll not be welding for hours on end, just the odd bit of hobby welding, so no need for anything too fancy.
Oh and what kind of nastiness do you get in the flux/fumes (its 6013 rods if that makes a difference)? any good links so i can read up on what i'm pumping into my lungs?
