Allen F   please tell me you have a formula for figuring that out, and that you didnt count them   :? :shock:

Copied it from an earlier post.  I think from M Bush.   And the count was for the whole frame.

Count the cells for 1 inch both horizontally and vertically multiply those numbers to get the number of cell per square inch. Then multiply that number by the area of the frame, and you get the approximate number of cells per frame. That will work for any size frame.
