Review on Neiko 10908A Fiberglass Welding Blanket and Cover, 4' x 🔥 6', Enhanced with Brass Grommets for Convenient Hanging and Optimal Protection by Justin Pavelko

I'm a professional welder and I'm tired of reading useless reviews of people using them to protect smokers as this is unrelated to the intended purpose of these devices has to do ceilings. I bought two and yes they have floating fiberglass you can get your hands on which I never had but some soft hands can. I don't like floating dirty fiberglass, I would recommend something that isn't fiberglass. For light sparks the Mig/Tig/Stick is great. If you plan to place them within inches of a weld, they will most likely be damaged. The decisive factor here is the maximum temperature of 1000 degrees, as stated in the description. If you cut with plasma or a blue tip wrench and use it under a blanket, again 1000 degrees. Molten slag straight from the steel is slightly higher = burn through. They are best used to cover items that are at an angle. Sparks fly, roll down. If you use them while shooting, a stream of sparks will fly from your meat grinder a few inches from the ceiling and. burns a hole for obvious reasons. I burned my blankets for the reasons listed above, they were needed at work as a last resort so they were used. and abused. I have two heavy duty blankets that I have worn for years. Covered the rubber roof with it, used cutters and welded them and never damaged the rubber roof or anything else underneath. However, they are as rigid as cardboard and, when folded as small as possible, take up an area of about 2 feet by 2 feet. Get out of the equation or dump the money and buy GOOD sweat blankets or heavy leather. In the world of welding, however, nothing is guaranteed. Sparks fly everywhere, add jumping sparks, other objects that sparks can bounce off and they will go places you didn't even know existed. The only piece of clothing I don't burn through is a leather jacket, which I wear every now and then. He also has several severe burns, but none of them ever penetrated. A good example of weld slag drops and how long they stay hot. Welding at over 200 feet with occasional melt drips. Add wind conditions and they carry over. I have seen these molten droplets fall over 200 feet many times, be blown away by the wind, and then start a fire on the ground. If you think about how hot it must be to start a fire after falling this far, how hot will it be when it falls 2 feet onto your 1000 degree fire blanket?
