Benjamin Fargen	Using plexi as eyelet / turret board material? Hello all,     Can anyone suggest any problems that might come up from using 1/8-3/16" plexi as eyelet/turret board material.   I have been using the standard G10 board.   Heat from the soldering iron melting it would be the only problem I could see.     Any input is welcome.     Thanks,   Benjamin

Stephen Conner	Hi Benjamin,     Plexi (or Perspex as we call it over here) melts at 150 degrees C. It wouldn't stand a chance with a soldering iron!     Steve C.

R.G.	What about using a carbide drill to make a board from glass... !8-O

Rebel420	maybe not glass, but how about ceramic tile?

I've used 1/8" polycarbonate with pretty good results, although I'm a little curious as to the "carbon"-ate- does anyone know if this stuff actually contains any carbon & if so, enough to make a diff? As for the ceramic thing, I found a gutted Tektronix O-scope (shame) on the street a while back that was loaded with these ceramic terminal strips that look and work great-if anyone knows where to get these things, please let me know!     -Dave R
