Where do you get that from? 

(btw I did get some fr4 from eBay, a seller in Qingdong, and it's perfectly fine. 5 10*15 (cm) sheets less than 10 bucks. Took a while to arrive as usual.)

I use CEM-1 paper/fibre-glass laminate. It's *much* easier to cut and 
drill than FR4.

Farnell stocks it. I usually get mine from Mega Electronics, as the 
resist seems better.
