Is there any guidance on what size screen to use .. I would like to make heavy duty formed pan from heavier screen but dont know about the size of the openings .. bigger holes in the heavier screen than in flimsy window screen. Are we shooting for some kind of ratio of opening to wire like 60% or something?
