Hi, Bruce.  
I checked with our local supplier this morning,  
1/16" "canvas" substrate phenolic is $34.55 for  
a 3' x 4' sheet. It's not as rigid as G-10 but  
with stand-offs it's fine. This is the stuff I  
referred to in my post.  
 
Laird Plastics quoted a price on 1/16" type  
CE sheet, "linen" substrate phenolic of $30.42  
per sheet. They have a variety of this type of  
material, such as the paper based types, which are  
cheaper. They quoted me $53.22 per sheet for 1/16"  
G-10.  
 
My company buys plastics from Laird regularly, but have  
not bought this material from them. They seem to  
have as good a price as I can find, usually a lot  
less than our local supplier, and great selection.  
 
Their web site www.lairdplastics.com has a catalog  
that can be downloaded. The phenolics are in the  
section called "Mech2". The prices quoted over the  
phone were slightly better than the catalog prices.  
I don't know if they discount to us because we  
are a regular, or what.  
 
Regards, Steve F.
