I have some 20 year old silver loaded paint/ silver conductive paint
Electrolube SCP003 ,kept in a 35mm film pot, in fridge. It cannot be called paint now, but not totally dried out, more like paste. I mixed a little with the resin part of some also quite ancient but good epoxy , bulk 1kg purchase about 10 years ago, also kept in fridge (red cap = resin ? any standard ?) Left the mixture overnight and it was same pastiness, ie no/little cross reaction. Prepared a pair of 1.65mm wide , flat , brass pins, by cleaning with methylated spirits only and drying off, deliberately no abraiding. One pin , wrapped 2 separated loops of 0.02mm insulated wire around as a precise separator. 2 hours ago wixed with the hardener and placed between the spaced crossed pins, held with a wooden clothes peg , holding force about 0.5 Kg. I just tried measuring resistance between pins. Did not think , in advance, about soldering fine wire to the pins for ohms testing. Connecting 2 croc leads to the crossed pins, still with clothes peg, resistance varied between 3 and 35 ohm , holding in fingers. Highly sensitive to slight forces in semicured state. Will let it cure until tomorrow and retest conductance and also peel/sheer strength of the epoxy.

To be continued -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ Minimum resistance about 200 ohm, shear or peal strength ? was 90gm at 13mm distance to shear the joint. Proportions were something like 2 Ag paint:1 hardner:1 resin , so perhaps 4:1:1 would be better and also newer product preumably. So for CMOS type currents application not car windscreen heater repair use -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |
