a weld lump that goes down your shirt and ends up in your socks gets
exciting as well :-)

Almost like my one experience. I had a piece of slag go between by jeans
waistband and my tucked in shirt.

I am pretty sure the shirt burned through very quickly, without a
significant temperature loss to the lima bean sized piece of red hot metal.
My skin did start to cool it, and I decided that this was a *bad thing.*

Even though I was standing out in my back yard, in full view of neighbors, I
very quickly unbuckled my pants and dropped them. Modesty was not high on
my list of concerns, at that moment. Only then was I able to release my
lima bean piece of pain, to continue it's journey to terra firma.

I still proudly wear my momento of that day. My lesson of the day, is to
weld or cut with your shirt hanging out, or wear a leather apron. At least
most of the stuff will be shed like water. g
