Circuit board?? Now that wouldn't be exactly a novel material to fashion pickup bobbins from, would it?...
Try harder.

What area of life would one encounter this material?

I'd rather not narrow it down too much yet, but here goes: music.

Old records? Vinyl...

Polycarbonate from CD's. At a nickel apiece, not a bad price.

I hope you're using old records that were bad music and not tearing up old Beatles records for bobbins!

Rest assured, I only use unplayable records hehe.

I mean Goldsboro.

Polycarbonate would be better; you could pot in hot wax and not have the bobbin melt. You can even get black ones if you want.
