Homebrew PCBs

Hi all,
  Been doing the same search myself for a while now... I haven't made 
an order yet, but a few promising leads:

www.pcbmaterialworld.com 

probably your best bet to find exactly what you need. They appear to 
stock all types of copper clad laminates, including flex, and I saw 
an ad saying they would deal with hobbiests/researchers.

professionalplastics.com
k-mac-plastics.com

both of these places distribute the polyimide plastic (AKA kapton) 
that is typically used as the laminate in flex boards. No copper 
clad, but depending what you are hoping to do, it might help. Really 
pricy stuff...

bare copper foil (if you are looking to do lamination yourself) is 
available pretty much everywhere - including that first link, or 
places like:

onlinemetals.com
basiccopper.com

Another great resource for more info about these materials and their 
use is "Printed circuits handbook" by Clyde F. Coombs... in it's 5th 
or 6th edition now.

If you get a chance, please let us know how things go - I'm looking 
to start doing the same thing pretty quick here. 

Cheers,
Brad
