Testing new copper clad

I recently ordered some new copper clad from eBay and I noticed the prices of the red laminate that I like useing went up in price. I decided to jump on a deal he was having on 4″x6″ CEM (Composite epoxy material) single sided copper clad. I got a great deal on a 49 pieces so I jumped on it. I figured that if they don’t work well as PCBs then I can use them as faceplates. Here is the information I found on them.

First thing I noticed was the copper was cleaned up pretty well and I just hit it with some 600 grit wet sandpaper before etching.

It seemed to etch well and even.

If I was going to complain about anything it would be the fact that CEM will chip when cut with my table top paper cutter. So I may have to use the jigsaw or Dremel.
