Y-ellow Y'all.
	Thanks for all the info. Most appreciated. I think those conductive pens
would be more trouble when prototyping. I have been given a few other ideas
though which might be of interest to anyone wishing to pursue them further.

Aquadag was suggested by Paul Perry. This is the conductive goo they paint
on the outside of picture tubes. They also use to use it on the inside of
Apple monitors for shielding. I don't know how one would apply it but it
would certainly be interesting to try.

But I think in the end, what I'll do is try and make a pen (or several) to
apply kynar wire easier. The ones available seem to required special wire
and special bobbins and all that. Perhaps I can figure out a way to make a
pen through which I could feed a generic spool of wire of some kind. The
Pen would have to be metallic or have a metallic tip of some kind so that
it didn't melt. But this is probably the easiest thing to obtain in the
short term.

Thanks once again for all the input. Most appreciated.

Be absolutely Icebox.
