[sdiy] where to get 3M Scotchflex sockets and strips?

I second Neil's response.  I still occasionally breadboard a circuit if 
I'm not sure about a design choice, but then just send the design to 
Seeed, which will cost about $20 for 10 boards (including shipping) as 
long as you keep the PCB size under 100mm/side.  The only down side is 
waiting a couple weeks to get the boards back (still usually faster than 
OSH Park).
