Orchidians,

    Several of you have mentioned welders aprons for welding/soldering.
    This is what I use when casting, poring ingots etc. However, many
    years ago I used to work for the California Dept. of Forestry, & our
    clothing was made from Nomex. I "googled" nomex apron & came up with
    a company called "buyaprons.com". They have a 30"X34" bib apron w/
    nomex & steam barrier. Flame retardant to 450 degrees. The price
    listed was $39.99 plus S&H. Google had other suppliers of "nomex"
    aprons. Nomex kept me safe on more than 1 occasion. Just an FYI. I
    may pick one up for myself.
