Great idea, Thanks.
Ordered rods from United Welding so will get on it when they arrive.
I have both an ordinary headshield and an auto-dimming one. I've always got a piece of soft clean cloth for cleaning off the glass and protective lenses which I do regularly. The problem might also be if the glass you have on your current shield is too dark. If you have an auto-dimmer, try selecting a lighter shade or if you have an ordinary shield fit a lower shade glass. My preference has always been a 10. I've also got a small sheet of perspex which is around 2-3mm thick so I can cut new clear protectors whenever I need them.I think the main reason for the wavey lines is Im having trouble seeing what Im doing.
