150 gauge (light/medium duty) - As 100/120 gauge but with greater tolerance and weight resistance
200/250 gauge (Medium duty) - Heavier/pointed objects. Transculent in appearance (i.e slightly milkier/cloudier)
400/500 gauge (heavy duty) - Ideal for metal components (nuts and bolts) Very milky in appearance
