Ron, Saw filer and Dave are spot on regarding galvanized. The safety police are over reacting to galvanized metal fumes. Dave

Even so, why would you want to be sick if you didn't have to?

Ron, Saw filer and Dave are spot on regarding galvanized. The safety police are over reacting to galvanized metal fumes. Common sense and practice goes a long ways towards safe practices. As a former welder with 50 yrs. experience, they are right. The last few comments are germane to the discussion once safety was brought in to the original question.

I agree with Davec2. I welded galvanized some and it's nasty but won't kill you unless you breathe it a lot.  My dad welded in the shipyards in WW11 in the bottom of ships. He never would weld again but lived to be 93 and with no lung trouble. Smoking cigarettes much worse.
