Hi. James, Most any of the major laminate suppliers should be able to help you. One good source you may wish to check out is from Arlon, Electronic Material Division. Chet Giles of Arlon has produced a very good text tiled "Everything You Wanted to Known About Laminates, But Were Afraid to Ask" . Chet is very colorful in his writings and easy to understand. It available in print or on disk to customers free by requesting and signing a software transfer agreement. Contact customer service at Arlon in Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. 909/ 987-9533. Good Luck.
