They have to act as similar as possible to normal playing cardsWith the same thickness +/- a few micronsPossible to shuffle, to bend, and maybe to be used for magician tricksAnd of course, the lighter the betterIn this case, would stainless steel or aluminium be better? Or what metal would you recommend? FlexibilityWeightDurability(Time Weather resistancy).
I'm far too lazy to look up pictures, but you can go on OKorder and type in what type you want and pics will pop up with the adsTurnout blankets usually come in light, medium and heavy weightLight has little to no filling, medium generally has about 200 grams of fill and heavy weight has 300 grams of fill or moreFor it to be worth anything as a turnout blanket the denier has to be at least 1200If you're thinking about buying one I would go with Weatherbeeta or PessoaStable blankets come in the same weights, the only difference is the denier is low, so they're not very water proof at allI've got a professionals choice one that's very nice, but the lining is nylon and not absorbent at allAlso there are sheets, of varying materials, to layer withCotton, I think, is the best to help absorb moisture, but fleece is used alsoAnti sweat sheets, I'll be honest, IdkI think they're to keep horses from getting dirty/ sweaty at showsCoolers are to keep the horse from getting chilled after it's been worked into a sweatExercise/ quarter sheets are used when it's cold out generally, to keep the horse warm while he warms upFly blankets/ sheets are generally the same thingThey're usually mesh and can be anything from cotton to plastic to all sorts of synthetic materialsI've found that in general the more plastic-y they are the longer they lastI've had cotton ones and those lasted a good two daysThere are also canvas and wool blankets, but I don't know much about themI wouldn't reccomend them though because the wool tends to annoy horses There are also just rain sheets, or water proof sheetsNo fill, just to keep them dryUsless in my opinion.
YesI am a mommy and work at a daycareA swaddling blanket is designed to wrap your baby up a certain way-nice and snug like they are in the wombA receive blanket is just a very thin blanket that you can use when you are breastfeeding either to cover you up, or like I do which is just use it for a burp cloth.
I gave thumbs up to the post above me with all the infoI have never looked at a catalog that didn't tell you what the blanket was for and what season and waterproof or notThere is another brand new type out there more like a Sleazy with heavier material that doesn't use strapped buckles We all have our preferences depending upon what the conditions are you want to use it for.
Spring steel is probably the only metal that's going to bend back flat after you shuffleAluminum will bend immediately and stay that wayProbably a couple of thousand bucks, maybe moreAnd yes, they will be like razor blades even with a good edge treatmentYou'll need to have a tool and die made to begin withI'd do a light etch for the designs, or laserNo paint is going to stand up to that for very long at all.
