Re: Making the simplest board

2004-09-25 by Phil

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.
