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?)
