Wire Glue Molecular Carbon Conductive Glue

Conductive Glue

When you get serious about building robots, even little robots, sooner or later you’re going to have to learn how to solder. There’s really no way around it. But, you can make it later rather than sooner with this conductive glue. It works like glue, but it conducts electricity like wire, thanks to a whole bunch of electron friendly complex carbon molecules like nanotubes and buckyballs. At least, that’s how they say it works.

It looks like a neat product, and I’m sure it works well, but if you’re thinking of getting this rather than learning how to solder… You should just learn how to solder. It’s cheap, it’s fun, and you get to melt metal and make stuff. Give it a shot, and then after you burn yourself, you can go ahead and buy the glue without feeling guilty. It’s $4 for 0.3 fl oz from ThinkGeek.

Although I wouldn’t recommend Wire Glue as a soldering replacement, there are some occasions where you simply can’t use solder. For example on some glass/silicon substrate photovoltaic cells only the back contact can be soldered to; it simply won’t stick to the front (I’ve got the fried solar bits to prove it). Wire Glue however does the trick here with no effort, just glue the contact wire to the front of the cell, spray with some clear lacquer to protect it and you’re done.

Your blog was tweeted by a friend the other day. Figured I’d take a look. Best decision ever.
