Subject: Re: Using "Conductive Pen" for drawing traces

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...

Dennis
