I've did that for the Venus transit on my small telescope 30mm and my binoculars it worked great. I could not find any solar film at the time, but I could find the glasses from the planitarium. I used some masking style tape I had that was very dark and did not let any light through, I tripled it just to make sure it was thick enough. I would suggest the metal tape used on duct work if I was to do it again. Be safe and use your smarts when doing it.

Say, I was thinking about taking the solar film out of a pair of my eclipse glasses and making a cell to go ever the input end of binoculars for a bit closer view of the eclipse. Good idea? Can anyone think of something I have not which would be eye danger?
