I have it.  How much do you need?   Like 2-3 oz or ??

Dr. Resonance


I'm looking for a small quantity of inexpensive conductive paint or adhesive for use with metallized plastic parts in a potential microwave application. I have a couple of ounces of silver bearing (>99% based on weight) pain in some kind of a nitrocellulose binder which I've been hoarding for almost 60 years but hate to use it if something less expensive is available. Seems to me there must be, probably copper based, but a quick look hasn't turned up anything. Any clues? I'm not intending to coat terminals or anything like that, just make electrical connection between brass waveguide and plastic parts. Need enough strength to permit safe handling but may be able to accomplish that part by overcoating with epoxy cement.
Any suggestions welcome.

An ounce would be more than sufficient. Are you talking about the carbon-based paint? I would like to experiment with that but can't remember how high the resistivity is. Ultimately I'd like to find a source where other guys could order small quantities to place in a possible article on "cheap microwave parts" made with cardboard and aluminum tape.

Thanks,

Ed
