Sometimes the glasses are not made to the same optical quality as the dedicated bino and telescope filter material.  The safety factor is ok, but the resolution may not be as good.  Let us know how it works out.

Say, I was thinking about taking the solar film out of a pair of my eclipse glasses and making a cell to go ever the input end of binoculars for a bit closer view of the eclipse. Good idea?  Can anyone think of something I have not which would be eye danger?
