Tracy	Re: Staking tools and eyelet-based circuit boards: questions Hi I've actually used the masonite type material and It seemed to work OK. I know it's not fire resistant, but it held up to soldering with eyelets. Don't mount tube sockets on it. mount them on the metal chassie. If this polycarbonite stuff doesn't melt from a soldering gun it might be ok. You can order 1/8 inch fiberglass garolite circuit board from Mcmaster-Carr supply co. online. Also the eyelets and staking tool at Mouser electronics. Tracy
