Wow, of all the conductive paint/adhesive products I've encountered so far, this one is the most pleasant to use.
bareconductive.com/collections
I tried a couple of different conductive pens (clogged easily and permanently?!), Wire Glue (falls out of solution badly and is very hard to stir back up, inconsistent results), but the bareconductive one will hopefully be a winner. Going to test the results once it fully dries...

@vxo i've used bareconductive and it's very good for the first week but then it sets really brittle and the smallest amount of flex will break your connection

as long as that's not an issue, yeah it's brilliant

@mavica_again yeah this is on two rigid parts that are going to be reinforced with CA glue, that should keep it happy

@mavica_again this kinda also suggests that any sort of fancy LEDs-on-glass frobozz i should happen to want to create would work fine too

@mavica_again I wonder how similar this might actually be to Aquadag, the coating that was used on the inside and outside of CRTs to form the anode voltage capacitor
(I almost said beam supply capacitor because an inductive output tube for high power transmitters and the electron gun of a mere friendly household CRT are hilariously similar!!)

oh snap i'm doomed to be a broadcast engineer forever with this kind of useless insight
