Looks worse than it felt. Yay 3rd degree!

I’ve actually wanted to post this for a while. Burn happened in February of 2022 while I was doing 4G 7018. I was wearing a nice welding jacket with the leather sleeves. The short story was: a welding spark hit my right tear duct, which caused me to long arc TF out of my puddle. Well, the puddle dropped through the only small crack between my jacket and gloves. Burned the bottom of my forearm to my elbow ( not pictured). I took my left arm and flicked my sleeve to get the molten puddle out BUT forgot to take off my glove like an idiot. The puddle shot into my glove and sizzled for a good moment.

The second picture I took 4/1/26. Decent scar. Last year I added a scar from an exploding cut off wheel. That was fun to clean out.

Future note:

If I replied to your injury post with a link to this post. Youll be just fine, keep it clean. man up and carry on.
