Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] flex circuits by hand?

From: Stefan Trethan <stefan_trethan@...>
Date: 2003-07-16

never did. never thought of.

i wonder what use you might have for this?
i think it would be damn hard to get components on it so they don't peel
off the copper film when bent.
and if only used stationary, at a certain amount of bending, i see no
reason why not using thin fr4.

please tell me what you want to use it for.


regards
stefan
