Title: Anyone tried this conductive glue?

Not even sure what it would be good for, but it is interesting.

Neat stuff for pranks.

I wonder how high the 'low voltage' conductive application voltage is?

Sounds like the antithisis of what ham's want in typical applications.  Except for actual soldered and screwed joints, the last thing I want is conductivity spread liberally around the joint...  (pun intended)  ;D

I have used this product to close micro Jumper pads on Computer CPUS to trick them into running at higher speeds.  The data of the micro connection blocks is available on the net.   I have also used a number 2 pencil for the same thing though!

Another use is when moding new solid state rigs for Freq expansion.  Why solder on your new $5000 radio.  Just apply the glue across the pins you need to close.

I have a machine in the other room with a factory 1.6GHZ processor thats been running at 2.1 GHZ for years now. :)

I have used it to cement button cell batteries together to make things like the bias battery in the GRC-9 military radios.  I have also used tiny bits of it to repair cracked carbon coated pc board foil patterns under elastomeric keypad buttons.
