>       How do you see the UV when you weld?" 

    I don't - but you can measure it using the right equipment. - But
    then again I don't weld (there again I'm technically aware that some
    consider silver soldering akin to welding.) I solder silver and gold
    (not platinum - hate the stuff - won't use it - nasty cold
    unresponsive metal! The Spanish had it right when they considered it
    unripe silver and threw it back into the streams in S. American when
    they found it!) 

    I do use protection for enamelling in a kiln - I got very sore eyes
    while I was at college from not doing this and I suspect it's a
    causative factor for the formation of cataracts. 

    The MRI info is new to me - we live and learn (well I do anyway!) 

    I think the last question I have is "Does silver, like platinum,
    give off UV when it is heated? If so is this amount of radiation
    harmful?
