Electric Paint Pen 10ml

This product works as advertised. It may not be the best solution for repairing a remote control, but you can certainly improve it. Here are the steps: 1. Open your remote control (watch a youtube if you have difficulty opening on your own) 2. Separate the rubber keypad from the circuit board. 3. Clean the circuit board and rubber keypad with rubbing alcohol using a paper towel or qtip. 4. Shine a bright light on both parts to ensure you have thoroughly removed all oils and debris. 5. Very carefully, put a small dab of the paint on each key. (you can use the tip to spread it thin or use a toothpick). 6. Once you have evenly spread the paint, let it dry (approx 1 hour or use a blow dryer on low speed for 15 mins). 7. Use the back of a toothpick or some small flat tool to carefully tap on each key to further flatten the paint. 8. Verify its not flaking off. If it comes off, repeat the steps to add more paint. 9. Let it dry again for another 15 mins. 10. Slowly put everything back together. testing: If you're remote fails the first time, it means there is a short with some small paint that stuck to the circuit board. You'll have to reopen and clean the affected parts and repeat paint steps. If it works, then don't slam on the keys. Just take it easy and it may last. If it causes trouble again, then repeat all steps. One suggestion would be that if you can work quickly, then maybe use super glue on the keys first before adding the paint. I haven't tried it, but it might hold better. Glue stick doesn't work well, and with no glue, the paint does not bond well with silicon rubber keys. For the folks that just need conductive paint, this paint works just fine for low voltage projects. Great value.

My Tv remote just stopped working, every button. New batteries did help. I ordered this not believing it would work. But on the week-end and faster than ordering a new remote. Followed the directions, put in front of a fan to dry. I put the remote controller back together. Holding my breath tried the controller. Didn't work, was upset because some reviews said it did work. Putting it down to blow off some steam. Came back and looked over the directions, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE BATTERIES IN UPSIDE DOWN! REVERSED THE BATTERIES, CLICK EVERY BUTTON WORKED. This paint saved me 39.00 on new controller. I had no idea this paint was available or even how it worked. I used about one drop on the whole job, so have plenty left. Good Stuff LollyAnn

I accidentally bent the USB connector on my flash drive. Being a typical computer user, little of what was on that drive was backed up because it seemed to be highly reliable. After taking the rubber shell off of the drive, it was clear that all four soldered contacts between the USB connector and the CB had been broken. I could have soldered them with a low-wattage iron, but was unsure how much heat could be tolerated. Also, the circuit board and solder connections were extremely tiny. So, I searched for a liquid solder-type product and found this. Using a 3X dissecting microscope, I was able to put a dab of this substance to bridge each of the 4 USB connections. Miracle of miracles, I was able to get the computer to recognize the damaged flash drive and download all of the files to my hard drive. I then uploaded these to a new flash drive. While this product is not specifically designed to do what I needed to use it for, I thought it was worth noting the shortcomings I found. First, while the nozzle of the tube seems pretty small, the glob that came out was way too big for my needs. I had to break toothpicks and use the sharp end to apply the conductive substance to the contact area. Even then, I had to remove the excess. The other thing that surprised me is that the substance is black, not silver. So, the contrast with some of the items on the CB was difficult to discern some of the time. However, it worked! I let it dry for 5 minutes, as the directions say. I am very grateful that this substance exists, even if it was not ideal for my application. Way overpriced? I can only compare the cost to the pricelessness of the data I was able to retrieve.

I bought this on a recommendation that it would fix my non-responsive keys on my classic Commodore SX-64 keyboard. I carefully disassembled the keyboard and applied the paint. Note: The “Pen” that it ships in is just a small toothpaste tube. The paint is very thin and will get everywhere. I ended up using a toothpick to apply a very thin layer to the contacts. The box says it will be dry in 15 minutes. This is NOT TRUE. I let it sit overnight and it still was wet. I waited a few more hours and reassembled the keyboard. It didn’t work. I then took it apart again, used a wet piece of paper towel and wiped it off. It smeared everywhere. It never dried at a day and half in at room temperature. Take a look at the picture. Notice how it’s sticking to the copper contacts? It’s not supposed to do that. I had to wipe it off of there as well. So. It doesn’t stick to what it says. It doesn’t dry when it says and doesn’t conduct as it says. Don’t buy it.

One of my buttons on my PS2 controller was completely dead-- the supposedly infamous rev H whose conductive film has a high tendency to lose continuity. I applied this over the traces on the pad, gave it a night to dry and with a bit of cleaning of residual ink, controller works good as new. It was fairly hard to scratch back off so it seems like it'll be robust enough to handle key presses. Time will tell how long the ink holds up though I see negative reviews about the ink being runny and difficult to control. Do not try and apply this using the tube. Grab a small applicator-- a toothpick even, and grab a small dab from the tip of the bottle and apply it onto the trace that way. If you put on too much it'll never dry. You only want enough to create an even layer and that's plenty.

Very good

Sehr cooles produkt, vorallem wenn man etwas ausbessern möchte oder zb folien reparieren möchte.

Spilt coffee all over my keyboard and in removing the matrix sheets I tore one (stupid I know) and I used this to the broken connections on the sheets now it works like new :)

Je l’ai acheté pour réparer des pistes de circuit imprimé défectueuses. Ça a fonctionné !! Le temps de séchage est assez important et ce n’est pas si facile à déposer mais ça fonctionne !! C’est mieux que de jeter un appareil réparable :)

ファミコンのコントローラーのカーボンが剥げていたので購入。 コントローラーのカーボンを塗る位置の中央に細いマスキングテープをして 綿棒に少量付けて点描の要領で塗布すると良い感じに。 本当に少量で良いので全然減りません。 ただキャップが存在しないので口をクリップなどで留めておく必要があります。
