setting polyester and cotton material on fire to show the different properties and how they can mess you up. synthetic materials catch on fire from welding and the dripping flaming plastic will burn for a long time and stick to you and really mess you up and make you look like a melted alien. I also use a harborfreight arc welder.

Ive been burnt twice pretty bad by wearing the wrong shirt while welding… once about 8 years ago, and once a lame ass school called uti while grinding with their stupid? ass mechanic shirt that u have to wear cuz that lame ass school has a dress code….(hate that school.. waiste of money) n e ways.. i dont look like a monster from my burns…, but i am a freak.. gigatti… lol
Use? a picture of Freddy Kruger… his face has that “just lit” feel to it. LoL
Important? video and might I add, very responsible. Good job.
