they work just fine - I bought some a year ago. Thin has an advantage
that when you are doing double sided boards, you can see the traces
through the board quite clearly. Drilling is a little easier and less
wearing on your bits. Useful for perfecting your techniques.

To be sure, I prefer .062. It is much more rigid but I have a number
of projects based on the 0.026 stuff that are working just fine.
