Dress
for the class:
A cap to shield your eyes from bright lights above. Optivisor will also serve to shade eyes.
Old
clothes that you don’t mind having holes burned in by acid or other means. This will be a dusty and somewhat dirty hands
environment. The polishing operation is
difficult on hands so if your hands are sensitive you may want thin leather gloves to give
you some protection. We will have leather
finger guards for you to use during finishing of metal if you want to use them. Even with finger guards your fingers will take a
lot of punishment, from polishing compounds, chemicals, etc. You may want some hand cream close by for the days
you will be finishing metal.
