I happened to think about the eclipse yesterday while out in the garage. I got a welding -hand held protector thing w/ my mig welder when I bought it. Never used it , bought a self darkening helmit. I took the hand held thing outside and took a quick glance at the sun, ended up staring at it for about 5 seconds. Then looked at the lense and it was a 10, but seemed darker than my helmit. I then went back in the garage and didn`t experience any spots before my eyes, Guess I`ll try it , if I remember, and the weather is co-operating. ====DON`T TRY THIS AT HOME ????
