    I, for one, am very glad that we have Mike Aurelius here with us on
    Orchid.  I have used his glasses - Aur 92- for years when doing
    glass beadmaking (lampworking). These filters protect my eyes as
    well as take away the sodium flare.  Since Mike has done lots and
    lots of research on filters and the properties they have, it is
    important that we as jewelers realize how much damage we could do to
    ourselves by not using the correct product for eye protection while
    doing different tasks. If I were to change from the soft glass that
    I am currently using, I would also call on Mike to recommend the
    correct filters for colored borosilicate (hard glass) or whatever
    type of work involving high and intense light that I was going to
    use. Thank you Mike for sharing your knowledge on filters and ways
    to protect our eyes while working with intense light. Mike sent me
    several styles of glasses to determine which was the best fit for
    me, with no penalty for returning those that did not fit.  A prompt
    refund was cheerfully given on those that I did not keep. This, in
    my estimation, is above and beyond regular service. Usual
    disclaimer, happy customer etc. Beth Katz
