The term fire-retardant as applied to organic (i.e., containing carbon) materials, is intended to refer to reduced fire hazard, as all will burn under certain circumstances. The tests used specified in building codes, such as NFPA 701, are more correctly flame resistance tests, which test a fabric's ability to resist ignition with the flame size and duration in the test conditions. The result is a comparative test, which provides a measure of the material's resistance to propagating combustion caused by small scale ignition sources.

If your new to welding or just want to brush up on your skills, then you have landed on the right page! Mig welding, also known as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable Mig Wire electrode and the workpiece metal, which heats the workpiece metal, causing them to melt and join. Mig welding is extremly popular because it is easily learnt and because you can use it for a wide range of applications. There are so many types of Mig Machines to choose from, but it really does depend on the job required, your skill set, and most of all your budget.
