Thanks for the feedback. Lots of points and questions:
- I've looked into the various usps options and there are several that
are quite reasonable. especially if it can be in an envelope form
factor - $3.85 for a pound anywhere in the usa.
- no unclad FR4
- I'll need to determine if it really is 1 oz or .5 oz. the stuff I
got has a number of stacks of boards labeled "FR04 1 oz/1 oz". Since
I bought it in a lot at auction, I don't think anyone was trying con
me - the guys running the auction had no clue. I guess I need to do
some googling and weigh the stuff.
- eagle compatible size - really great idea!
By the way, I also got, as part of the lot, a bunch of aluminum clad
particle board. It makes a fantastic drill backer. Tke drill exit
holes on the bottom are quite clean. Better than any other backing I
used.
