That said, I'm sure plenty of us - myself included - watched eclipses in our youth through shade 10 glass.

Around here, I only know of one place that stocks shade 14 and it is a dedicated welding supplier that caters to pros/industrial clients but is also open to the public. That's good enough for most types of welder, so it tends to be the darkest most places stock. The dark lenses sold at hardware stores, Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, etc.

DS19 is a welder (longtime hobbyist, going to community college for his certification) so I've bought more than my share of supplies. You can experience that without looking at the sun.Ĭlick to expand.That's hard to find off the shelf, though. If you'll be in the direct path of the eclipse, imo the coolest part will be the sky darkening midday.
#Welding glasses shade 14 lowes how to
If you can't get the glasses, look up online how to make a pinhole camera, and watch the eclipse that way. So I was careful to give them all away, to avoid the waste of such a sought-after item. Prior to buying those online, I had called around locally & couldn't find any store that still had them (& we don't even live in the eclipse's direct path). The pack of 25 was the cheapest I could get, so I donated most of them to my son's class & teacher, and gave the others to a family I know & to my boyfriend. I won't even be watching the eclipse, but I want my son to have the glasses for the viewing at his school. I just checked their website & they don't seem to be selling them anymore. On Wednesday I paid about $150 for a pack of 25 eclipse glasses from American Paper Optics (one of the genuinely good suppliers) to be sent to me via 1-day shipping.
