Conductive paint is easy to use on a variety of projects

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.

Don't know where to begin? Here are five ideas on what you can do with Electric Paint

You will need:

Draw A Circuit

Use an Electric Paint Tube to draw circuitry on almost any surface. Squeeze the tube gently to dispense the water-based paint. Leave it to cure for 15 minutes and starting testing! Remember that what you create doesn't need to look like a traditional circuit diagram. With Electric Paint you can produce any circuit that is creative and functional!

Cold Solder

The Electric Paint Tube is perfect for making solder joints or repairs in a variety of scenarios. For example, you can attach a through-hole component like an LED diode to a circuit board, teach electronics without the use of a soldering iron, or securing heat-sensitive substrate. Electric Paint acts as an effective conductive adhesive and it is safe for small hands.

Repair Small Devices

The Electric Paint Tube can be used to repair small breaks in circuits on window defoggers, membrane switches, and PCBs. The viscous nature of the paint makes it easy to apply and manipulate. Its adhesive properties mean that it will stick to the surface and provide a lasting repair as well as ensure any repair from excess moisture.

Create E-Textiles

E-textiles present some great applications for Electric Paint. One can use the tube to terminate the conductive thread and connect it to a microcontroller. Electric Paint works well on most fabrics, natural and synthetic, but it is water-based, meaning it will come out in the wash. Whether you're making a talking cushion or an interactive finger puppet, Electric Paint will be a great addition to your e-textile project.

Use In The Classroom

Electric Paint is non-toxic and easy to use, which makes it perfect for a workshop or a classroom. The tube is a great tool to demonstrate how basic circuits work while adding a creative twist to a science lesson. This unique material allows a student to bring their creativity to their circuits through visual customization!
