Shell Style Size Conversion from round openings to D-shape openings

Shells are a product of nature, so size/shape consistency may vary, even with the same type of shell.  The best approach to take if you have a round opening and want to get a D-shape shell: multiply the round measurement by 1.5. (Example: . 1" opening x 1.5 = 1.5 opening for D-shape").  Alternately, if you have a D-shape opening and want to get a round opening, divide your D measurement by 1.5.
