Electrically Conductive Wire Glue

I have a group of 6, 12V outdoor lighting group of lights that enhance our front gardens around our house. On one of the light connections, one of the two wires pulled out of the plastic housing (the electrical connection was down a small hole in the plastic housing. The wire had just pulled out exposing the metal strands of wire. When I pushed the wire back into the hole, the light lit up again, but the wire would not stay inside of the hole. I knew it needed to be soldered....somehow, but with no exposure to the connecting point inside of the plastic housing it was impossible. After a bit of googling and YouTubing, I found this product which was highly recommended. I searched on Amazon, found it, ordered it, it came quickly. I put some of the wire glue on the wires and dropped a bunch down the hole, jammed the wire into the hole (the light came on), I held the wires in place for a few minutes, and after a few months of various weather (warm, wet, cold, etc) the light still works. Great product!

I'm using this product to glue a magnet onto a 21700 battery to extend the length of a third-party battery so it fits properly in my Fenix flashlight. The wire glue doesn't bond the magnet and battery that well, so I added a little bit of clear non-expensive gorilla glue and mixed it with the wire glue. This combination works extremely well. It is also very conductive.

This is perfect for the ones that cannot solder effectively. I use it for replacing rechargeable batteries that are soldered to the compartment. The only negative is that you need to use a stronger glue afterwards since the glue part of this items is weak. Too bad there's not much of a choice out there Unfortunately, I placed this review too quickly. The only reason the initial test worked was because the metal contacts were touching. When this conductive glue is in between the contacts, there's no conductivity, therefor, no voltage. This is false advertisement!! I will be returning.

It should be noted that this is not a replacement for a short length of wire, such as completing a circuit path. It is important to stir thoroughly, making sure to break up any blobs of material at the bottom of the container. The use of this conductive liquid is to coat joined conductors to substitute for soldering them. In that use, the product works well, as there is contact with a lot of the mechanically joined surfaces. Trying to create a pathway with this product results in that pathway having thousands of ohms of resistance per inch. I created a “tap” at 50k of a 100k potentiometer to use in an antique radio. I used a fine wire running from the “tap” I created to the edge of the carbon plate of the potentiometer. I used the product to cover the wire and where it was positioned on the edge of the carbon plate to create a very close, covered contact with the two surfaces. Since this was a volume control, any resistance was negligible. The bottom line is making a good, clean mechanical connection first, between the conductors before coating with this product. I will find more uses for this product.

It's A Mixture of Graphite & Water Soluble Glue Comes with lots of caveats so do some research. ..like it won't work to fix any kind of wiring attached to a windshield, antenna, defroster etc. It isn't tacky.. so either use a clamp, or be prepared to hold the object (for a long time.) It's thin & watery..apply sparingly in layers. ...and even after it's dried to the touch, it won't conduct electricity very well until it's sat for at least a few days to throughly dry. It gets Brittle.. and will crack away under any kind of stress or tugging.. so be prepared to reinforce whatever you're mending with either tape of an additional application of epoxy. Lastly... It's NOT really Metallic.. IOW.. Not as good at conducting electricity as you'd probably hope it would be. It DOES conduct a current but not as well as solder. I fixed a flashlight, and you can see a BIG difference between the mended flash & an identical unit. Given the alternative (buying and/or using a soldering unit) it's BETTER THAN NOTHING.

I know the reviews are all over the place and I bought this over a year ago. I got a guitar pedal from an amazon return auction (Nellis) and it didn't work when you plugged it in. You shook it and something was bouncing inside. I was going to return it to the auction but would have cost more in gas than the couple $ I paid, so I took it apart. There was a top of a node that broke off? You could see where it was suppose to be and my wife glued it on. Works, gave it to my son in law. Yesterday put new pickups in an old Fender Mustang. I let it set for 2 hours, put super glue over that (per instructions on the box) let it set additional 2 hours. I could NOT get the pickguard back on to save my life. Ended up 2 hours later bending screws for it to go in but I was pulling and tugging for 2 hours! I'll be darn! Thought it would have broke!

just what I ordered and nothing less and at a great price and the delivery was fast
