Keep your mouth shut when torching. I actually had a rod shock and a piece of glass landed on my tongue....hot glass.....sizzle

You didn't play by the rules, so your post says "Do not keep your mouth shut..."
But, yeah, I know what you mean. I have a small burn on my lip--glad my mouth was closed!

When the glass hits you in the lower lip & sticks, do not purse your lips together to trap the stinging!
The good thing is, lips seem to heal fast. I had a split lip a few times too, & was surprised at how quickly it was healed up.

I went one step further after reading the newbie mistake thread and becoming paranoid about cleavage burns. I wear it all the time when torching now.

That's a sweet looking apron, Caliente !
For cheapo's, such as myself, Harbor Freight has the leather welding
apron on sale for $9.99 !
http://www.harborfreight.com/split-l...ron-45193.html
The neck strap needs some padding, it's too thin for the weight of the
apron.

Oxygen is not flammable, but it enhances the burn of the propane, which is why they say to turn the oxygen off while lighting the flame. The good thing is the fireball only lasted a second. I've never done a confirmation test to verify it would happen again though, once was enough for me.

When you smell something shouldering, DO NOT forget to check the fur of the dog sleeping at your feet!

Not only is there a nice fireball, but the BANG sound that happened when lighting the torch as the oxy was flowing scared the living crap outta me. Trust me, you will only do that once..

I know! I always double check now, LOL.
(Sorry, I guess I misunderstood your post, thought you were telling me that wouldn't happen, when I had the singed face to prove it would!)

Cheaper than waxing...
and way more thrilling if you go for that sort of thing
We do some stupid stuff, don't we? Did you know cleaning the counter under your rod collection could cause you to get stitches? What? Those rod ends are sharp?
Please then envision me driving with my hand over my head to stem the bleeding...stick shift, natch...
