Dr. Barry Ornitz wrote about this in several groups about twenty years 
ago.  Do a search on "Barry Ornitz radio plastic" and the same with 
"radio plasticiser" and you will get quite a few hits on his 
methodology.  And of course he had the lab at Kodak to do material 
analysis.  His conclusion was that you can't put the genie back in the 
bottle.  The closest I've come without resorting to etched brass 
material has been by using a a TLC 5500T credit card lamination machine 
with a 15 Mil thickness credit card "pouch".  I had to get a better 
machine to do it well - the first one I bought didn't get the thicker 15 
Mil credit card material hot enough. Below is one of the results, this 
for a WWII pulse analyzer.  (The original is on top...)
