Hoop Steel 5mm (3/16 inch) wide x.4 mm thick

Note 1: meter is approximately 3" longer than a yard.

Note 2: scissors will not cut this steel. You need tin snips and they work best if they have the letters CrM (yes, lower case r) molded into the jaws.

Note 3: No, you can't use this steel for hoops, it's not quite strong enough unless you use many hoops. You can use the "U" tips to finish the ends.

Note 4: what is the white coating? "thermoplastic elastomer"
