Liquiwire™ — Electrically conductive paint for guitar shielding, PCB repair and DIY applications (50mL)

Bought to revitalise failing Sky remote control, worked well, be patient in application and give time to dry. Comes without applicator but I found using a pencil dipped in the graphite liquid gave the accuracy required to apply in small amounts.

It's thinner, more watery than I expected. Had to shake it for much longer than advised in the instructions, and after it dried, it was very dusty and left black powder all over my hands when wiring up my electric guitar. It did register continuity on my multi meter, but the messiness puts me off using it on electric guitar pickup cavities. Probably should have bought a more expensive conductive paint that hopefully wouldn't dry to leave powdery dustiness.

Bought this to fix a remote control with worn buttons. Repair worked great, too early to say how permanent the repair will be.

Okay

I wanted to shield the control cavity of an electric guitar I’m putting together. I applied the paint and waited a few days.I’ve completed the wiring and grounded the painted sides of the cavity, creating a Faraday cage. It works in shielding the guitar from noise. But the paint hasn’t dried to a sealed surface, it has dried as a carbon particle powder.If I touch the sides of the cavity, I get black powder on my fingers. And it says on the container it’s a skin irritant. See picture of a white kitchen towel that I touched the surface with. And this is three days after painting.Not really suitable for my purposes. I will try a different shielding paint. You can get types that do dry completely to a sealed surface, this isn’t like that.

Works!! Enough said.

Repaired an Akai midi keyboard which had a few miss triggering keys.A dab of this on each contact bought it back to life 👍

I found the product is reasonably thick and not too watery as suggested by other reviewers. The problem comes after the paint has dried as it’s basically like dust or sand - very crumbly and falls off the surface easily. I used the paint on a circuit board to improve rubber membrane buttons , remote control style. I’d suggest it might be ok on other porous surfaces like paper but is unreliable on hard surfaces or where there is any wear and tear (like remotes).
