We use .040" here.  And some of our boards are small.  You sound like my
boss on the "build to IPC" issue.

You're entitled to an occasional bad day.  But you don't know bad until you
have hormones flying all over the place and the almost uncontrollable urge to
choke the heck outta the next ninny who walks through that door.  Of course
that person is usually male and thinks you don't know Jack Schitt about
boards just because you're a woman.  That being said - don't YOU feel better
than you thought you did?

And thank God (most of the time) for guys!  ;-)
