Transparent clear PCB manufacturer?

CJay:
Stick a sheet of self adhesive copper to it, etch as usual or use a vinyl cutter?

And oooh, that project with the flex PCBs is going to be great once it's finished.

Thanks for the great suggestions guys!

The thread capt bullshot was the one I was looking for!

I was hoping to avoid all of the 'homebrew' stuff. I'm sure it's possible, I even found a few articles ( such as https://hackaday.com/2016/07/18/cnlohrs-glass-pcb-fabrication-process/ ) on the topic, that gave great result,s but I want to avoid these kinds of extra steps if at all possible. I've thought about various DIY ways, but it was all unreasonably complicated and I don't want to deal with that.

I looked into the silver nitrate method, but to the best of my knowledge, the design would have no staying/adhesive power and the insanely thin amount of metal would probably be melted into the solder.

One of the sillier ideas I had was to have a water jet (or similar) cut out a copper pattern from thin sheet metal and these would be then glued on to the substrate (basically a nastier version of CJays vinyl cutter suggestion).

Yeah, I know, but it can't be soldered to the best of my knowledge.
