#178450 - No offence!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Joe,

I did type a reply to you yesterday, but it doesn't seem to have appeared on the forum!

I'll try again:

When you say, "laying up your own fibreglass", I presume you mean doing it from scratch with the "raw" glass fibre matting and resin?

Something like this: http://www.budget-diy.co.uk/48332/Loc...e-Kit.html

I had thought about this - but I don't know how "involved" it might turn out to be in practice
I guess it'd take a few goes to get it right...

(I have used this sort of thing for car body repairs in the past)

Anyhow, 2 applications are in my mind:

1. just as an insulating backing for "uncased" PCBs (eg, DevKits) - to prevent any little "accidents" if they should get put down onto something conductive...

2. I want to do some experiments with adhesive copper tape that would also require soldering to the tape - so thermoplastics would be no good.
Would the "DIY" resin be OK for this?
