Tim,

Is there any opportunity to get the PC ties optionally ONE side clad? This would be great for the hinged points methods.

P.S. Glad to see the crossover options as well.

Hi Ed,

I have looked into using single sided PC board for the ties, and found that, locally, the material was actually more expensive than double sided! I guess there is not as much demand for this, and it is reflected in the price.

I have found that the copper foil can be easily removed for the board with a few aggressive passes with a sharp file.
