I bought a dozen pairs but friends and family got them all. I should have waited to sell them for $75.00 each Very good deal on them late tomorrow afternoon though.
They gave them away at the Durham library and I don't know if they have more. Call the different libraries to see if they have them
Some of the glasses in Raleigh were recalled from the park or library. I forget which. Be careful! I've welded for over 25 years. burning your eyes is a day and a half of torture, not to mention possible permanent damage. I expect eye doctor visits to be the next big news story!
Do not, I repeat do not use welding shields to view the eclipse. Not dark enough (typically) and uv issues
BS hught. Iv'e seen 2 eclipses through welding helmets. No problems. If your shield don't go to 14, stay away from harbor freight. If you don't know what you got, don't look. Also, don't weld.
I'm still betting on burnt eye news on Tuesday. Up until the mid 80's, doctors would give you saline solution with cocaine. That would numb you up enough to get by.
Many of the self darkening only go to #13 from any vendor. Unless you have replaced it the lens is most likely not 14 out of the box.
