RAW METAL DEFINITIONS & TERMS   Bulk Metal :   Our cut to length bulk hobby & craft metals provides what is needed at a good value. Our cuts of art metal are generously long & approximately square. Metal by the running foot or yard is shipped in one length whenever possible. We use this metal to craft our own creations.   Tooling metal is shipped in a roll. If necessary ripples or curves can be flattened by rolling it with a smooth rolling pin or plastic pipe section on a completely smooth surface such as a countertop or glass table. Our tooling metals are shipped in a protective tube which works as a roller for smoothing too.   Grades:  These solid metals are of an especially pure high grade for fine craft work. All of It is solderable except aluminum..                New Craft Metal has a bright rolled satin finish. It may have some very slight manufacturing ripples, scratches & color variations.                                 Reclaimed -Recycled metal: This unused older metal has scratches, finger prints, ripples and/or dents. Some is shiny and and some has patina from age. It is all very usable at a good price. We use this metal in our own creations.   Gauges or Thickness: The lower the gauge number the thicker the metal. For example 23 gauge sheet metal is more than twice as thick as 30 gauge. See below for gauge charts.   Hardness: Basically how easy it is to bend or work:              Medium Soft is pliable yet holds up for folding and hammering. Thicker metal bends less easily than thin.              Medium Hard is stiff, bends less easily and holds is shape better in larger pieces     FINISH: Our raw/bare metals can be buffed up after a piece is completed.  More information on METAL CRAFT HOW-TO : Cleaning, cutting, forming, soldering & finishing   PATINA: All the metals we offer are raw with no wax or varnish and will gain an aged patina over time.
