Make Conductive Glue and Glue a Circuit

Step 6Possibilities

Possibilities
This conductive glue is a fraction of the cost of any other conductive glue including "Wire Glue". You can mix it up in large quantities. As you can see, I have barely scratched the surface of what is possible with an inexpensive conductive glue and glued circuits. Perhaps these circuits could be silk-screened on. Maybe one could paint glue on a surface and then use a laser to remove where you don't want it to conduct and etch a circuit that way. Circuits can be constructed on various 2 and 3 dimensional surfaces including paper, cardboard, plastic, fabrics, and glass. As mentioned above, many components such as capacitors, diodes and transistors might also be constructed.

While I have experimented with at least 157 different chemicals, metals, solvents, or elements, I have not tried most of them with the liquid tape. So there is ample room for those of you who like to experiment to improve upon the mix.

For those of you who would like to see a movie of this simple circuit that uses a Picaxe controller to blink 4 LEDs in sequence, you can download an video file at: http://www.inklesspress.com/glued_circuit.wmv
