Is there any connection between black FR4 and disappearing from the
scene.  We made it at Mica ---- long, long ago.  Also used it for
maps and etchings.  Someone in New England used it to make an etching
of the Cutty Sark.  Some may still be around.

Steve Kelly's lead seems like a domestic source.  If not, try
Risho Kogyo's  Risholite ES-3550J.  Found it on the web --- no
personal experience.
Good luck
