They are extremely dangerous.
Do not attach it to any eyepiece.
The sun's heat will be concentrated on that filter & it will be shattered.
This will allow all the magnified suns full light emissions into your eye.
Do not use any kind of eyepiece solar filter.
For any kind of solar viewing, you have to use a full aperture solar filter that fits over the end of the tube.

The sun filter is small in height but the same width as the others. Years ago I used to be a welder by trade and the sun filter has the same kind of darkness as my old electronic helmet did.
I wasnt planning on looking at the sun though. Especially here in QLD. Id rather do like they used to and have that piece of white board that the image projects onto.
