DANGER WILL ROBINSON! While welder's glass blocks UV and reduces visible light to comfortable levels for welding it does not stop IR and is not reccomended for even unaided solar observation. 7x50 binoculars have 250+ times the light gathering power of a light adapted eye. If you are going to observe the Sun, get aluminized mylar solar filters for your binocs. They're cheap (especially compared to the possible consequences).
