The simple answer is no, it is not enough. Taking out UV is easy and most
shaded glasses do so. There are 3 different glassblowing situations. Furnace glass - by testing the greatest risk is IR and a Welding shade 4 (as I recall) is recommended. http://users.ticnet.com/mikefirth/safety.htm#EYEPR Soft glass lampworking - Dichroic to take out the yellow flare with glasses. IR and UV not considered a problem. Hard glass (boro) lampworking - Dichroic to take out yellow flare, plus UV protection, plus some shading for IR, UV is much higher because of higher temperature but some glass do UVA band, but not UVB. -- Mike Firth Hot Glass Bits Furnace Working Website http://users.ticnet.com/mikefirth/hotbit46.htm Latest notes "ABS" hvad@saa wrote in message . ..
