Re: Galvanized metal

Thanks for the article. It certainly makes one think that we may be overly sensitive to this issue.

It make me wheeze, cough up junk, and gave me a nasty headache for an extended period. Other than that, no probs. From my perspective - I'll avoid it.

How so? I'll avoid " fever, chills, thirst, headache and nausea" whenever possible

Tig welding it isn't the best way to go. It'll spatter a lot, and you'll be constantly contaminating the tungsten. That, and the easiest/cheapest way to avoid the fumes is much better than normal ventilation, and tig is a lot more sensitive to gas flow problems with a stiff breeze.

Re: Galvanized metal

My point, if there was one, was that I avoid welding the stuff like the plaque. It appears that with some relatively low cost precautions that one can avoid the " fever, chills, thirst, headache and nausea". If you have to weld galvy, it gives you some tips.
