Liquiwire™ — Electrically conductive paint for guitar shielding, PCB repair and DIY applications (50mL)

I used this to paint the membrane on a remote control as some of the buttons no longer responded. It does take a while for the paint to dry but once it has dried, the conductive paint worked as intended. Quite a big bottle, so I hope that it stays effective if I need to use this again in future.

I don't like that the bottle is shaped more like a hip flask so easy to topple over (don't tell me how I know), and also the consistency is quite liquid. This was used to shield an electric guitar and it took a few coats, but there's more than enough for many coats for a typical Strat body and from testing with a multimeter everything showed good connectivity. It is also easy to clean up afterwards with a bit of naptha, though I suspect the coating is going to be a bit fragile. But once under the pickguard it shouldn't move at all.

It's thinner, more watery than I expected. Had to shake it for much longer than advised in the instructions, and after it dried, it was very dusty and left black powder all over my hands when wiring up my electric guitar. It did register continuity on my multi meter, but the messiness puts me off using it on electric guitar pickup cavities. Probably should have bought a more expensive conductive paint that hopefully wouldn't dry to leave powdery dustiness.

Okay

I wanted to shield the control cavity of an electric guitar I’m putting together. I applied the paint and waited a few days.I’ve completed the wiring and grounded the painted sides of the cavity, creating a Faraday cage. It works in shielding the guitar from noise. But the paint hasn’t dried to a sealed surface, it has dried as a carbon particle powder.If I touch the sides of the cavity, I get black powder on my fingers. And it says on the container it’s a skin irritant. See picture of a white kitchen towel that I touched the surface with. And this is three days after painting.Not really suitable for my purposes. I will try a different shielding paint. You can get types that do dry completely to a sealed surface, this isn’t like that.

Small bottle , goes a long way , actually works on my guitar , no interference.

Bought to revitalise failing Sky remote control, worked well, be patient in application and give time to dry. Comes without applicator but I found using a pencil dipped in the graphite liquid gave the accuracy required to apply in small amounts.

Unfortunately, this is just graphite in a suspension of water and not really a paint. Trying to use it for electroforming and electrical plating. But because there is no binder, as soon as you submerge in water, it will all start to come away again. That's if you get it to stick in the first place! It will stain anything it touches except for the thing you are actually trying to paint which seems to be able to repel the product completely!
