Cover up when welding. A weld burn is worse then a sunburn. Aluminum reflects a lot of UV light. When I worked at Fruehauf. We use to rub suntan lotion on the back of our necks and the ears to keep from getting burnt from reflected light. Our safety glasses was a #2 tint to help with welding flash. Hope you never get that. It feels like someone had thrown a bucket of sand in each eye.
