Bare Conductive Electric Paint is a water-based conductive paint in a convenient pen format. Draw circuits, cold solder components, repair PCBs, or use it as a conductive adhesive on paper, plastic, textiles, wood, glass, and more. The paint becomes conductive when fully dry.

Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, MaKey MaKey, LilyPad, FLORA, conductive thread, and standard electronic components. The 10 ml pen dispenses up to 5 metres of conductive trace.

Key Features

  • Conductive When Dry – Air-dries at room temperature in 10–15 minutes
  • Multi-Surface – Works on paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, glass, plaster, textiles, and more
  • Non-Toxic and Solvent Free – Water-soluble, safe for educational use
  • Pen Format – Precision application, dispenses up to 5 m
  • Removable – Cleans off with soap and water
  • Sealable – Can be painted over with acrylic paint or spray varnish for protection

Specifications

  • Volume: 10 ml
  • Surface Resistivity: ~55 Ω/square at 50 µm layer thickness
  • Drying Time: 10–15 minutes at room temperature
  • Max Tested Voltage: 12 V DC / 50 mA
  • Shelf Life: Use within 6 months of opening

Ideal For

  • Drawing circuits on paper and cardboard
  • Cold soldering and PCB repair
  • E-textile and wearable electronics projects
  • STEAM education and interactive art
Note: Electric Paint must be fully dry to conduct. Not tested above 12 V DC or 50 mA. Children under 14 should be supervised. Store in a cool, dry place.

Package Contents

  • 1× Electric Paint Pen (10 ml)

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

conductive thread
Thread made with metal or other conductive fibres so it can carry electricity while being sewn into fabric. It matters for wearable and textile projects because it can replace wire, but it has more resistance than normal hookup wire.
PCB
A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
resistivity
Resistivity describes how strongly a material resists the flow of electricity. For conductive thread, stable resistivity helps the electrical behaviour stay predictable along the stitched path.
