Whew! The nearest professional PCB house to me (ten miles?) THROWS OUT any
FR-4 (double-sided copper) less than 100 mm. wide, as that is too small to
work in their processing-machinery ("overhead waste"). I can get enough in
my grubby sticky little fingers for four or five years of tinkering for FREE!
It is CLEAN and bright, too! Sheared from big factory-sheets, and "set
aside". They may have caught on, by now, and now SELL it for all I know.
Been couple years since my last visit, there.
