I want to look at the eclipse this weekend.
Everybody says a #14 welding shade is good.
I don't have one.

So, how do the numbers stack up when you use 2?
I'm guessing it's not linear, so 7+7 doesn't = 14???

What's the math for stacking welding shades?

Thanks, mike


Sent my wife today for two 4 x 5 shade 14 lenses. They said they were out,
and had sold 14,000 lenses. We are SMACK DAB in the middle of the path here
in Toquerville, Utah. My NexGen only goes up to 13. What's up with that?

Wear sungalsses under the nexgen?
