For those with an Ax-Men near them, at least in the Twin Cities, I was able to find A LOT OF single side 36" x 42" thin copper clad boards for $7.50.

Passing on the savings. :D

Do they ship? Is there a website?

I'd sure get some extra copper clad myself at that price!  EVen cut into smaller peices.

Checked their website.  They don't do retail sales on-line.

Are you interested in buying, cutting down to size that can be shipped, and shipping to interested members?  At say a 100-200% markup plus shipping?

What is the thickness?  Any idea what weight the cladding is?

Regards,
Dennis

Yah I can definitely do that. I will measure the boards here soon and let you know

The board thickness is 0.025" with my calipers, so it is flexible and I can easily get 18 pieces that are 4x6" out of one sheet. It would be hand cut with my snips so I would try to make sure it is accurate as possible. I going to say that the weight of the copper is 1 oz. It etches perfectly. 

I could make a run for you to the store and cut it up into pieces. $16 total with shipping sound good if anyone is interested?

That 0.025" figure probably meshes with my 0.032" double sided stuff, the lower thickness being due to the missing copper side.

I'd be interested in getting a package of this.

If you feel up to it, I would like 2-orders. 4" X 6" is my favorite size. Actually whatever is shippable! a final target size of 3" x 5" is also a good size since my printer will do that size card. The .025 thickness should work well in the laminator. 
As I recall, I paid $20.00 for a 12" x 12" x 0.032"(1/2oz.) sheet from DigiKey. The laminator specs call for a max of 0.040" stock. 

If you choose to do this, make it easy on yourself! Gasolne is around $4 per gallon here. I don't want to take undue advantage of your generous offer..

Should you care to contact me direct, jferrell13@...m

I think the 0.032 pcb stock was two in a pack and 9-1/2 x 12 inches.

I am still interested! Those boards are 0.062" thick. Too much for my laminator. It could be that after I learn this toner transfer method I won't need the special stuff and make do with lesser cost tools, but for now I have not had a successful board. 

BTW, the boards from Pulsar are 9-1/2 x 12 and two in a pack...

FWIW they're FR1, which is a paper/epoxy that doesn't eat bits or produce dust that kills pretty much anything.  (exposed skin, lungs, bearings, etc) 

they do charge $8 shipping, so the minimum order is nearly $20 and works out to $0.70/ea


I'd be interested in some of those 36x42 boards, any idea how much they weigh?

I use CEM-1/FPC 16, which sounds similar. I like it because it's very 
easy to cut and drill, as well as being cheaper than FR4.
