Resucitating Silver loaded paint.

May 02, 2006 4 Replies

For the first time in 8 years or so I have use for a dab of conductive paint. About 8 years ago I asked a chemist mate if he recognised the smell of the solvent in this phial of paint , I think he said something acetate - ethyl acetate ?. He said he'd dig out a tiny quantity but both he and I forgot. Anyway the paint although kept in a fridge is on the solid side of paste and not paint. Any ideas where I would find Ethyl Acetate in an ordinary product like nail varnish remover, epoxy thinner or whatever? Or any other ideas, as its like Coleman's mustard - made his fortune from what was left on the side of the plate.

Which IIRC,is based on acetone,with some other stuff added. But you can buy it in small amounts,and not have to buy a pint or more.

M.Joshi spake thus:

That's acetone, as the previous poster suggested. (I second the emotion.)

Hi,

You can try using nail varnish remover (The clear type) - it worked for me!
