Once  that material hardens (dries, cures, or whatever 
it does) is is hard and  conductive?  Could it be used to create a 
trace on a board, and then  allow for soldering to it?



Chris:  What part of "SOLDER paste" don't you  understand?  (LOL!!!)  The 
stuff is made of flux and thousands of  microscopic balls of SOLDER, would you 
believe!  It is "paste" so it can be  PAINTED on, and it MELTS and "solders 
things" (becomes shiny solder) which  hardens by COOLING to the non-molten state 
when the heat goes away.   SIMPLE!  No, it can NOT be used to "make traces", as 
it would not adhere to  the epoxy board, AND even if it did, it would MELT 
AWAY as soon as you tried to  solder a resistor to it!    (HOPE you don't get 
miffed by my  sense of humor?)
