Wire Glue is an electrically conductive glue/paint which has many uses in the hobby world.
It is ideal for both AC and DC circuits that carry low voltage, such as the ones used on model railways.
One example I can think of is joining wires and possibly replacing the need for some solder joints between wire and track.
Wire Glue is made of micro carbon in suspension. It becomes conductive only when fully dry.
When using Wire Glue always make sure the surfaces that you plan to bond are clean and dust free. It might be a good idea to rough up the surfaces to be bonded to help it to stick better.
When applying Wire Glue, it is suggested to use a stick or a toothpick however for a nicer clean finish to the job, I tend use white microbrushes, these are the finest tipped brushes in the range.
The manufacturer states that when the joint has completely cured/dried for extra strength the Wire Glue can be coated in superglue or epoxy resin.
Always be safe when using a glue or paint product and use safety glasses (if nothing else it may stop you putting your finger in your eye)and gloves as a lot of modelling products may cause skin irritation.
