Okay fellas, what about this stuff:

Snake oil, or a decent substitute for soldering----on simple projects. Not like a 1/350 refit.

Any experience, thoughts?

I have heard of this before but never tried it. It definately has some possibilities in our little hobby!

DON'T BUY IT. Looked up a bunch of reviews online, and basically it's junk. It's as thick as water, takes forever to dry, isn't THAT conductive, and you have to use super glue on top of it.

I bought some to experiment with a while back when it wsa fist mentioned in these forums. I ran teast with it on a sheet of styrene and a test meter.
It beads up like water based ink, it does not stick to anything well and it is a poor conductor.
A potentially great idea, but it just does not work as advertised. If you want to run a painted on type of circuit I would recommend just using foil instead.

As I feared.

It just seems so "heavy-handed" soldering up 24ga wire.

Never hurts to ask....

Use thinner solder, like .015 stuff.
