Hmmm... I might be mistaken about those salvaged filters being UV filters. They don't make any difference at all in the cheap flashlight making the tee-shirt fluoresce.
They are, however, very good IR filters.
As you might know, most modern tv remote controls work by sending a signal via coded IR pulses transmitted by IR LEDs mounted on the front end. Place an IR filter in front of the remote and it can no longer communicate with the intended device. You might not know that many digital cameras make very good IR detectors, which makes a great demonstration of the effectiveness of the IR filters.
Check out the linked YouTube video I made: (you might want to turn the sound down, sorry about that)

So I guess if we want to make certain that no UV is transmitted through the eyepieces we should invest in a real UV filter as Gekko suggested.
