What, DIY chainmaille sleeve wasn't good enough?
Euro4:1 pattern conforms and hugs the glass just
due to its own hanging weight... Make the top row
of a few links less, and it won't slip down.
16ga is real easy, especially if you use aluminum.
I think I showed 17ga stainless, maybe too hard?
Uncertain if stainless is a good sink.

Strange, was 18ga aluminum??? What did I do with
that spool? I can't remember...
The rings were scored and broken from the coil
using tungsten tile nippers, modified to close down
a little more than usual, but still not touching.
If this had springs pulling down the skirt like some
tube retainer clip might have, this maille would hug
the glass even more firmly. Behaves like finger cuff
puzzle.
