Step 6Isolating
Cut strips from the jersey fabric with which you want to isolate your conductive traces. You don't have to use a fabric on top of the glue if you don't want to, but the glue tends to remain sticky and is hard to apply super evenly and so tends to look a bit messy. You can apply flour or baby powder to the glue once it has dried to get rid of some of the stickiness. Covering the glue with fabric strips is the easy way out. And it doesn't look bad.
Get out the stretchy fabric glue and apply it about 1mm thick and evenly to the conductive traces. Makes sense to do one side at a time. Wait for the glue to dry for about 10-15 minutes (when the bluish sheen is gone) before adding the fabric strips, otherwise the glue will seep right through the fabric.
Make sure you leave the beginnings of the conductive traces on the fingertips exposed! Otherwise you can't make the sensor.
