Overall, you’ll want to reduce/limit the quantity of fumes coming off your weldment, and maximize the amount of protection you’re offering yourself as well…

Update: At the end of the video, I mentioned that I hadnt had any issues relating to these fumes after like 24 hours… That was almost a week ago now (I saved this video for the weekend), and I’m still doing just fine, not that I welded much of this stuff, haha. 6010 works wonders on galvanized metal.
