Kevin,

I thought 35/35 and 35/25 are the "standard" resin thickness.  Do you also 
supply 50/50 or 35/50 regularly?  BTW, is 0.25 oz. copper avaiable without 
significant price increase?

David - Independent of  whether the resin coated copper is B-stage only 
or C-stage/B-stage, you are correct to assume that in order to 
encapsulate the innerlayer circuitry - if it's one ounce (35 micron) 
copper - you should have two mils (50 microns) of resin.  Less resin is 
necessary to cover one-half ounce (18 micron) circuitry.  Several 
different thicknesses from 35 microns to 100 microns are currently 
commercially  available of both  B-stage only or C-stage/B-stage 
materials.
