Re: Using "Conductive Pen" for drawing traces

2007-07-14 by dl5012

Hi,

I third that sentiment.  The conductive "ink" comes out in blobs.  It's 
fine for repairing small breaks in traces, but you have to use a needle 
or toothpick to "paint" the repair.  To be solderable, you have to cure 
it.

For a board so small, point-to-point wiring will probably be easier.  
Use some PCB software to do a wire plan.  If you minimize crossings, 
you can use uninsulated wire.

You could also try adhesive backed copper.

Most would just do a toner transfer...

Regards,
Dennis
