i didnt till i lent my welding kit out, and the dummy must have put the mask on the floor near where he was working and splashed the glass on the inside. so now i have loads of little holes in the lens . so i get lots of clear spots.... no good for welding

Hi extreme-4x4, you have to make sure you can get spare inner & outer clear lenses easerly for it. The paint job on it looks good. BigG
