>     Yes, the same is true for propane/oxy. Heat is heat. 

    Respectfully-- I do not know anyone who uses dark glasses when
    soldering with oxy and propane. When using oxy acetylene, the flame
    is bright enough to leave serious spots in your (my) vision even if
    not looking directly at it. This is just not the case with propane,
    for whatever reason. 

    I'm sure it would do no harm to wear didimium glasses or Auralense
    glasses, and if it seems like a sensible precaution, go for it, but I
    do not believe it is at all necessary. Anybody got documentation that
    it is?
