5 things to do with electric paint

A quick guide to five of the many ways you can use Electric Paint jar

Bare Conductive's Electric Paint is just like any other water-based paint, except it is able to conduct electricity! Electrical conductivity allows one to paint wires or sensors onto any materials around you including paper, wood, plastic, and glass.

Stencil It

Using a paper or plastic stencil will allow you to paint graphics onto any surface making it both simple for construct simple circuits and sensors. Try out a ready-made stencil or use masking tape, vinyl, or paper to produce clean lines and shapes.

Screen Print It

Want to create a precise and repeatable graphic? Try screen printing with Electric Paint. Whether you are making graphical circuits or visual sensors, this technique allows you to bring your creativity into your design. You can print the paint on textiles, ceramics, wood, paper, glass, or plastic.

Paint a Capacitive Sensor

Turn a simple piece of paper into a capacitive sensor with Electric Paint. The paint makes surfaces conductive so one connected to a small device, you can experiment triggering audio, or turning on an led by simply touching or hovering your hand over the paper.

Paint a Talking Poster

Start by picking up a paintbrush and paint a poster design. In conjunction with using the Electric Paint with the Touch Board, you can either paint straight to the Touch Board or use alligator clips to make it into a sensor!

Create Liquid Switches

A unique feature of Electric Paint is that it can be used in liquid form. You can make your own tilt switch by submerging a spoonful of paint in baby oil or let droplets of the material make contact with your circuit to set it off at different intervals. Give your projects a new form, and experiment with liquid switches to trigger sound or light.
