Product Description
Copper Conductive Paint
Make non-conductive items such as plastics, resins, leather, ceramics, cardboard, flowers, leaves, roses etc. conductive so they can be plated.
Copper Conductive Paint is an inexpensive alternative to our highly conductive Silvaspray™ silver conductive paint.
Porous items such as leather, cardboard, plants etc. should first be dipped in our Sealer Concentrate. Most plastics can be sprayed directly. No primer required.
Water based, latex paint. Non toxic and non hazardous. Can be thinned if desired with up to 6:1 water. Air dries in 1 hour. Coverage approx 20 sq ft per 4 fl oz.
It can be applied directly onto acrylic, ABS and structural foams, as well as solvent sensitive materials such as polycarbonate and polystyrene. It can be applied to almost any other non-porous surface, just use a latex primer first.
After spraying parts with the conductive paint, allow to dry and dip in Tinning Solution, then plate with our Acid Copper Plating Kit.
- Ideal for electroforming.
- Can be applied by sprayer, brush or roller just like ordinary latex paint!

Works OK
Seems to have adhesion issues when painted on top of a lacquered finish and then softened by the plating solution.

good paint met the purpose
while the paint was very good, I found that my credit card was compromised after using your site resulting in several overseas charges

just what I was looking for.
I'm new to electroforming. This product has been recommended. My order was processed quickly and I have since used it several times with excellent results. I'll be back.

Conducts Well
I really wish Caswell sold larger amounts at a discounted price, or discounts on purchases of 2+. The paint conducts great. I highly recommend using a small airbrush. Although painting it on will work, it's much more time consuming and takes numerous layers.
