I'm about to embark on a prototyping project, and was thinking of
dead-bug, but from what I now of surface mount, dead-bug would
be ridiculous. So what I have in mind is to take a piece of single-sided
laminate (from the elec. store up the street), put it copper down,
which would be the ground plane, and on the top, glue the parts down
and literally draw the circuit.

So, does anyone have a good search phrase for google, or maybe
know off the top of your head where I might get some of the stuff?
Is that the sort of thing that general-purpose elec. stores (heat
shrink, NTE's, all the neat stuff that RS used to have) would
carry?

One caveat - this isn't a hobby project, I'm getting paid, so if
I should FOAD and STFW, please keep your reminders gentle. :-)

Thanks,

ewwwww...conductive ink prototyping.. :P
I've considered it, but won't try it...

My favorite is to do fast thinking layout and connections in CAD.
Autoroute..and human clean up.
I like the software error checking when I'm in a rush.

I still like homebrew photoresist boards and etch for fast prototypes.

(Small boards can be done in a rice cooker.)
