What safety precautions should be taken when using welding goggles for viewing a solar eclipse?

Well, pumpkin, first off, let me tell you that welding goggles are not really meant for viewing a solar eclipse. However, if you must be a rebel, make sure the goggles have a shade rating of 14 to protect your precious peepers. Just remember, welding goggles are t-to the edgy, not to look at shiny stuff in the sky.
