Can Conductive Paint be thinned?
If a thinner coating is required, conductive ink can be thinned using butyl acetate solvent. Using other solvents to thin the conductive ink is not recommended, as they may change the properties of the acrylic polymer or force the polymer out...

Can I solder directly onto a drawn trace?
A trace drawn with the conductive ink will combine with solder, provided the soldering temperature does not exceed 350°F (177°C) and the solder joint is formed within 5 seconds. If the drawn trace must be soldered to, we recommended...

How do I prepare the surface for trace repair?
For optimal adhesion to most surfaces, clean the repair area prior to ink application. That insures the surface is free of oil, greases and handling soils. For precise cleaning just around the rework area, Chemtronics offers CircuitWorks Flux...
