ther glove issue. I learned to weld with stick, and earned my 3G certifica
tion using a Kevlar fingered foundry glove. On my hand close to the splatt
er, I now use a reflective shield which helps a ton. The glove is not very
dexterous, but for stick welding it was not a big issue. For MIG welding
I use an inexpensive heavy cotton glove with cuffs which works fine (again
the shield may be useful). For TIG I did something weird, but it worked fi
ne. I took a thin cotton glove sold at drugstores for folks with skin cond
itions on my right hand and pulled over that a cotton glove with cuffs that
I had cut the tip off to make the outer glove fingerless. This gave me 'f
eel' and it worked fine. Hope this helps.
