Subject: Re: 10 mil scissor cut copper clad ?

I have a bunch of thin single sided stuff. I love it. Its so thin that you can see through it after its been etched. This makes it possible to precisely align the two sides of a two sided circuit AFTER its been etched.

It also means that if you want to use solder paste with SMD components on both sides of the board, its not a big deal, you can solder the sides separately before re-combining them. Just remember to drill any vias and thru-holes with the sides aligned before you start to solder.

You can also get this type of board the the Ebay store: PCB Depot. ( http://stores.ebay.com/pcbdepot )
