That's funny.....I'd better suck all the solder out of my amps and use their "glue" instead. 


Here's what I need from that site...

That's my Modus Operandi.....

There are some nut cases out there that seen to think that real solder is a bad thing.
I sometimes am forced to try to work with ROHS compliant "Solder" at work.
Gauranteed dull, brittle, crappy solder joints.

Maybe that is  way around it.
I could see it being a good thing for heat sensitive components.
Does it have it's own "glue wick, to remove it?

Elmers glue will do the same thing if you twist the two components wires together.

Used conductive epoxy in chip and wire devices for mechanical and electrical contact with caps, resistors and various semi-conductors.  Was used in conjunction with wire bonding.  Great for high density small devices like cardiac pacemakers.  Also used in defibrillator pacemakers with around 700 volts available to charge large capacitors to zap the heart when necessary.  700 volts in a tiny space with other signals in the millivolt range was very interesting.

 We used to use it on windshields to put the heater leads back on (some high end cars have heaters in the Windscreen to keep the wipers from freezing to the windshield), the factory used the stuff and it often failed before we even got it out of the box, if you get it glued on well it works pretty good. Sometimes it was used to fix rear window defrosters too.

Sweet wont that look amazing in an amp!  Now if they just would make it in different colors so we could use different colors for different circuits!  Do they make paint on printed circuit board paths?
