Re: How are you Storing & Protecting your PCBs?
Are these any use or too small?

Where's a good place to get the pink conductive foam, perhaps to cut to size?
Gracias.

Decent size, but the walls are pretty thin.

Re: How are you Storing & Protecting your PCBs?
Cheers chief, it's a pain in the hole trying to find a decent PCB box size. Trying to avoid the expensive Corstat solution!

Sell the lesser played boards and you'll need to buy less

Re: How are you Storing & Protecting your PCBs?
Bumpety
Want to get some boxes for my pcb's. Unfortunately my love of Konami's 80's shoot em ups means I need larger than usual boxes. 400x300x70.
Can't find any pizza style boxes this size, can anybody help?

Re: How are you Storing & Protecting your PCBs?
I ran out of boxes and shelf space so I bought some more book cases and boxes. I can't get the brown boxes I got before which is a shame as they fitted the book cases perfectly.
I picked up some new white boxes but they are slightly taller which means you can't fit two rows in a book case. Still, they are much better organised then what they were.
