Also, I really doubt the time it takes for a mask to automatically darken can allow eye damage. If it does, it's so negligable it doesn't matter. I have a friend who regularly welds without a mask whatsoever (and has woken up blind several times because of it - somehow his sight always comes back and he never learns) and considering he sometimes welds for hours, I really don't think a nanosecond is going to make much a difference.
I personally can't weld for shit without one, and I'm in the autobody trade. Shit, I don't even own a MIG and I bought myself a mask.
Stick welding is the only kind I don't know, and I'd love to learn it. I need to learn some heavier duty welding for the bobber I'm building.
