Hi all! I recently saw a thread in one of the facebook groups about sequin tails shedding like no tomorrow. I knew they shed but I was expecting at most 10 scales a swim but some people have said that the amount of shedding is a lot greater. This brought up concerns about the safety of using a sequin tail around sea life. Since I sold my desert flower partial silicone tail a few months ago I was planning on creating a silicone x sequin tail. I mostly swim in pools but I do one day hope to travel to prime photo locations like the springs in Florida or the ocean in the bahamas and mexico. These places both have marine life in those areas that dropped sequins can impact
I'm wondering if I should just give up on the partial sequin tail idea even though I'll only encounter waters with marine life maybe every blue moon (hey travel is expensive) because of the impacts it might have on marine life or should I go ahead and just make it and hope the scales don't shed as much? (It should be noted I will be using 20mm scales not the 12 mm most people use. I'm not sure if these have a lower shed and breakage rate but being larger I may notice one drifting off on the waves)
