Homebrew PCBs

I checked out the silicone coated paper at the office supply place and it's 
a no go. You can't even tell there is silicone in there, the layer is so 
incredibly thin. It's about $13 for a ream of the stuff but I don't feel 
like wasting the money. They told me that there is available a paper that 
has a much thicker coating on very heavy stock 45 lbs that cost about $45 
for a ream, they are going to try to get me 10 sample sheets. If anything 
comes of it I will let the group know.
