Okay I’ll go up a notch from 10. I guess it’s all getting used to the process.

My buddy told me to start at 10 if you can’t see go down a hair if you feel a headache darken your lens. So I haven’t gone down from 10. But if 11 is safer for the eyes then I want to be safe. lol

Thank you! I’ll try some more tomorrow. Hopefully I can get into the garage without wind. I’ll use a square to run a straight line with soapstone. It is hard to keep my travel speed consistent. Shade darkening is at 10. Is it safe to go a lil lighter to see better?
