I get the message.  Thanks to all of you for your concern for my safety!

Dear Astronomy Community:

Can anyone use the material from a Mylar space blanket as a neutral density filter for solar observing?

Also, can anyone spin a container of, say, an epoxy resin, so that a parabolic surface in form congeals to form a mirror blank?  Perhaps this idea might yield mirror blanks that are lighter than conventional glass mirror 

blanks and have a smaller coefficient of expansion than conventional glass mirror blanks.  Thank you.
