With the advice from other members on IIS, I have made solar filters out of Baader Solar Film 5.0 (Visual). It is used on the finder scope and aperture stop down and it does a great job. If you buy a sheet of this product you can make filters for both of your scopes. You will have enough left over to make a set of filters for your binoculars as well.
The Baader Solar Film gives better results visually over Mylar. I had a Mylar filter on my 80mm but ditched it for the Baader Film. Even though the add says it is Baader, I would contact the shop to confirm.
