ScotchFlex is wonderful stuff...  but the average guy can't get it. I have
yet to find a distributor that will sell it in smaller, experimenter
quantities...

How about this:  Everyone interested write a letter to DigiKey and ask
them to carry it.  They carry plenty of other 3M products... shoot, they're
both Minnesota companies...

I don't work for 3M or DigiKey... but I do live in Minnesota.

Thank you for your support.
