New way to make spark strips?

I found this pen while I was at Radio Shack and I thought that it might work really well for making spark strips for combustions/hybrids. It a maker(pen) that writes with an conductive silver based ink. The only problem is it might wear off after a while, but I guess you could just draw it back on.

Looks like it will work just fine, but there is only one way to find out! :)

Go to advancedspuds.com and then to ignition. Or you can just go look at the wiki.

Yeah, I was going to use those conductive pens on the chamber wall, but i did not have enough money to buy them.

conductive pens

if you used it would'nt it be called a spark stripe?

Lol, spark stripe, my local Radio Shack sells thoose for like $5, how poor are you benstern? :lol:

I was drilling a hole in my camera flash circuit and the board broke off so I used some of this to fix it and it worked great, If I had a stun gun I'd make a strip for you guys, but unfortunately I don't :D

So basically you use to "draw" wires onto stuff, the ink is conductive? That might have a few useful purposes.

Exactly, The ink is silver based so you just "draw" your own circuit. :D

actually it is a solution of 45-50% 10 micron Silver in a Butyl Acetate solution.
