Please Note: Upon receiving your EclipSmart filter, you will notice “wrinkles” or “waves” in the film. Waves and wrinkles are normal. Hard creases, however, are not normal. While EclipSmart film with hard creases is still safe, the creases may degrade the quality of the image. Do not use if there are any puncture marks, holes, or tears in the filter.

Important Safety Notice : Make sure to inspect your filter before every use. Do not use and discard the filter if the solar film is damaged, torn, punctured, or separated from the frame in any way.
