Emergency advise please folks!

[pblackwell]

Hello everyone, just received this solar filter which I bought ( https://www.firstlightoptics.com/transit-of-mercury-9th-may-2016/astrozap-baader-solar-filter.html)E

Looking at it I can see numerous indentations like pin holes, I've held it up towards an inside house light, not the sun (as only just got home from work). And I didn't see any obvious holes, nor visually.

Is this normal and expected or should I contact the seller and get a swap?

A bit concerned as this is for viewing the sun.

Thanks guys

Paul

Danny , I've just sent them an email. I'm not a picky person, but as you know this is concerning and important.

Many thanks

Paul

Um, I think the website link might have given it away #schoolboyComment! ?

I've just read the safety instructions for the film because I remembered reading sometime ago that tiny pins holes aren't dangerous.
