Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

I have gotten LOTSA "4 inch and narrower scrap" from the local PC house
(when I visit when the right ladies are on duty. SOME are downright stingy and
want to CHARGE for stuff they throw out!). But it is all "1/2 oz. copper" as
they plate-through just about EVERYthing they do, making the copper thicker
all over. I wonder: If one orders a "2 oz. board" do they simply PLATE-ON
more, or use thicker copper on the raw stock? I never asked when visiting. I
HAVE had bits of FR4 with thicker than 1/2 oz., but not from the current
source which is 30 miles closer than the first one I "knew". It'd be nice to
get some 1 oz. "scrap!"
