INEXPENSIVE welding blankets at HF

I saw on another site that HF was blowing out welding blankets at his local branch.....in CANADA. Well, I called mine in SoCal....and same thing. 5x5 foot for under $4, I got a 6x8 foot for under $6 ($6.18 with tax!), and they have an 8x8 foot for under $8.

 

Have you recieved one yet? For that price I`m thinking a single sheet of automotive fiberglass with the edges sewed up?

 

Yes, a 6x8 footer. It's not to bad. Maybe a little thinner than the one I spent $50 on. Being thinner might make it more manageable protecting an interior of a car while welding

 

Didn't know HF had any locations in Canada.
None listed on their site.

 

They smell like old goats, but they work.

 

My young goats dont smell that bad, will they get really stinky?

 

I have one with a bunch of holes burnt through it. I wouldn't depend on them to keep cherries off your interior. I usually back them with a sheet of aluminum.

 

thanks Groucho.

 

Maybe fold it over once or twice for the more sensitive areas? My expensive one has many holes in it too

 

Funny about the HF smell. It is either "old goat" or "structure fire". Makes you wonder where they source the raw material they make that stuff from.

 

have one also, they work OK

 

oh heading out to pick some up! I love the smell of dirty goats!

 

Well I may have to get a few off these myself. I am not sure what goats even smell like..........lol........I guess I will find out.

 

asbestos blankets work the best, i still have mine, i just dont beat on it or do things that make dust fly around, you can still buy it,

for that price i'll get a few, good to cover side glass, windshields and back glass while grinding and/or welding. thanks for the info.

 

I love the smell of old goat, but I looked under HF clearance and weakly special and don't see them on-line. is it in store only?

My HF blankets REALLY stunk of horse shit. So much so that flies swarmed my garage for the first month I had them. Is that what an old goat smells like? If so I will have to be sure to never get an old goat.

 

I always use old newspapers but you can only use them once.

 

I took mine back without even using it. The stuff they treat them with is a known cancer-causing chemical.

 

So are the fumes from welding and grinding better give up there homie!
