## Questions & Answers

**Q: One side is silver and the other black. Does it matter which side is pointing at the sun?**
A: silver must point to the sun so it deflects as much light as possible

**Q: Can this sheet be heat laminated without damaging the sheet?**
A: Sandwich the film between two pieces of plexiglas, so it makes the film lay flat. Seal the edges of your "plastic/film/plastic" sandwich, with hot glue.

**Q: Can I use this to make solar eclipse glasses?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Is this the same product that was $29.95 last month?**
A: The price has been changing upwards for a while now.   I bought some a month ago for a much more reasonable price.  Seems like supply/demand and price elasticity is being tested now.
