Their prices are not too bad.<div><br></div><div>I've never figured out the ideal way to cut it though, I usually use a dremel. It leaves less than straight lines, and be extra careful to avoid breathing in the dust when dremeling! Fiberglass dust is nasty stuff to delicate lung tissue. I always do it outside and wear a mask.</div><div><br></div><div>I think also I've heard you can also use tin snips to cut it, but I misplaced my pair.</div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Nick Meyer via TriEmbed <triembed@triembed.org> <br>Date: 11/20/2015 10:23 PM (GMT-05:00) <br>To: TriEmbed <triembed@triembed.org> <br>Subject: [TriEmbed] prototyping boards with through holes <br><br><div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm making some modifications to a circuit board from an old video game controller. Originally I was going to scrape the solder mask off certain spots so I can attach the wires I need. When I attempted this, I wasn't able to get a good join (without much force the joint broke off the board).</div><div><br></div><div>So, now I'm thinking to get a piece of prototyping board with through holes. I need roughly 12cm x 4cm pieces. I'm thinking to buy a larger piece and cut multiple 12x4 pieces.</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions for places to buy these? Amazon has a lot of options and Mouser has a lot of options. I'm not really sure what the differences are.</div><div><br></div><div>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Nick</div></div>
