    Mary - glassworking with a hot head or Quiet Torch (aka Fireworks
    Torch) should use didymium or didymium-variant filters to remove the
    yellow sodium flare from the flame contacting the glass There is
    nothing hazardous to filter out, but the didymium filters allow you
    to see through the yellow so you can see what you are doing 

    Dark welding filters do not remove yellow and are worse than useless
    because they are so dark 

    You should ALWAYS wear some sort of eye protection, even clear
    safety glasses are better than nothing - what will protect your eyes
    when the glass heat-shocks and explodes into your eyes?
