Group,

    I got out one of my old welding metallurgy books to confirm
    stoichiometric temperatures of various gasses. Stoichiometric is the
    ideal combustion process during which a fuel is completley burned.
    Oxidizing flame. 

    Sun's average temperatue    9927 degrees F
    Acetlyene                   5589 "
    Mapp                        5301 "
    Propylene                   5193 "
    Natural gas                 4600 "
    Propane                     4570 "

    At the very least sun glasses should be worn to protect your eyes
    from radiation given off from the burning of various gasses. The
    experts (whoever they are) are now recomending sunglasses should be
    worn when outside on a cloudless day. 

    I just don't feel comfortable soldering, brazing or welding without
    the proper eye protection. To not only knock down the glare of the
    flux but to also keep any molten metals from my eyes not to mention
    the fumes. But that's another story. Your mileage may vary. Protect
    your eyes.
