using Bare Conductive pen or paint

Post by ginag »

Hi
I have a sculpture that I would like to mark with a Bare Conductive paint so it will light up.
Possible to make one mark at a time light up? If so do I need other equipment along with the paint
pen?
Can the black pen be tinted with a color and if so what kind of paint or tint?
Can the paint be applied on top of dried metallic paint? (my sculpture is a painted plaster head)
Do you ever meet with educators to try different uses for your products in NY?
thank you, Gina Gruenberg

Conductive paint conducts electricity, but it does not light up by itself. You can use it to conduct electricity to devices that do such as LEDs or EL wire or tape.
