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

My welder's supply store stocks #5 and #10. I bought one of each and stacked them and they compare favorably to the #14 i already have. Mathwise, they check out also (OD = 5.564)
