Electrically Conductive Wire Glue

I have a group of 6, 12V outdoor lighting group of lights that enhance our front gardens around our house. On one of the light connections, one of the two wires pulled out of the plastic housing (the electrical connection was down a small hole in the plastic housing. The wire had just pulled out exposing the metal strands of wire. When I pushed the wire back into the hole, the light lit up again, but the wire would not stay inside of the hole. I knew it needed to be soldered....somehow, but with no exposure to the connecting point inside of the plastic housing it was impossible. After a bit of googling and YouTubing, I found this product which was highly recommended. I searched on Amazon, found it, ordered it, it came quickly. I put some of the wire glue on the wires and dropped a bunch down the hole, jammed the wire into the hole (the light came on), I held the wires in place for a few minutes, and after a few months of various weather (warm, wet, cold, etc) the light still works. Great product!

works great.

I bought this so my son and I can repair his old army flashlight. It came in, I followed the instructions, it didn't seem to work. So I put some on a piece of paper, and I also put some on the plastic table and I let it dry. No conductivity whatsoever.I wrote the manufacturer and asked am I doing something wrong? I never got any response.Of course I didn't get around to using it until after the return window passed.

It's A Mixture of Graphite & Water Soluble GlueComes with lots of caveats so do some research...like it won't work to fix any kind of wiringattached to a windshield, antenna, defroster etc.It isn't tacky.. so either use a clamp, or beprepared to hold the object (for a long time.)It's thin & watery..apply sparingly in layers....and even after it's dried to the touch, itwon't conduct electricity very well until it'ssat for at least a few days to throughly dry.It gets Brittle.. and will crack away under anykind of stress or tugging.. so be prepared toreinforce whatever you're mending with eithertape of an additional application of epoxy.Lastly... It's NOT really Metallic.. IOW.. Notas good at conducting electricity as you'dprobably hope it would be. It DOES conduct acurrent but not as well as solder. I fixed aflashlight, and you can see a BIG differencebetween the mended flash & an identical unit.Given the alternative (buying and/or using asoldering unit) it's BETTER THAN NOTHING.

Glue is probably the wrong word for this product. I was able to use it to "glue" a component back on and it did conduct electricity. I tried "glueing" a wire to a pad and couldn't get it to hold. Glue is thin and doesn't stick well. It seems to work well in limited applications. The advice in the instructions dto back this up with super glue should probably be followed.

Exactly as described

Junk. Use solder. NOT THIS STUFF. You'll end up with a mess and it probably will not work. I couldn't get it to work!

This stuff does work. I fixed a model train wire with it, and it works just fine, after I got it right (the third attempt). First, you have to mix the hell out of it. Not just a "shake" or a "stir." You need to dredge up the "goop" at the bottom of the jar and mix it thoroughly. It takes a while, it's not easy and when you think you're done mixing, you're not, do it for another 5 minutes (that was my first failure, not mixing enough). Then when you do use the glue, make sure your connections are super clean and make sure they are touching each other firmly prior to applying the glue. For my train fix, I had to tape it all firmly in place first. Then when you apply the glue, LESS IS MORE. You only want the bare minimum to hold it in place and make the connection. After getting it mixed right, on my second attempt I used a lot of glue thinking it would hold and connect better. Instead it just sucked up the current and created resistance. Finally, on my third attempt, I just used the tiniest of drops. Once it was fully cured sealed it with super glue and it worked perfectly. So if you do it right, learn from my mistakes, it works very well and very easy. I now have a working train.
