Ring size for standard overlapping scalemail pattern: 18g SWG 3/16" ID
Scales per square foot: approximately 1000
You will need 2 rings per scale; more if you are stablizing the edges.
Punched from 1/2 hard temper anodized strip (anodized the same both sides unless noted). The sides of the scales are not anodized. Thickness varies from 0.025" to 0.03" based on color. It doesn't affect the appearance and you can mix a fatter with a thinner scale. Due to this variance we cannot guarantee 1500 scales in the mixed bag - it will be close. All scales are bagged by weight.
The anodized surface on the SC-AA-SM-BLUE is not as scratch resistant as our other scales.
Some of the small AA scales have a burr around the hole. The problem has been fixed and future batches will be burr free. All of these scales can be used in the standard overlapping scale pattern without the burr being seen or a problem.
