Homebrew PCBs

I notice that Pulsar.gs (The Toner Transfer sheet people) sell 2-8x10
inch pieces of .032 board, coated with 0.5 ounce copper for about $17
through Digikey.  This is in keeping with their low cost laminator
that won't handle thicker pcb stock.

I'm also interested in this question.  Is the lighter weight copper
more likely to lift due to soldering heat?
