I first tried another product for the purpose of re-carboning the rubber pads on a remote control, and it failed miserably. So as a last resort, I ordered this product, dubious that it work when another product from a much more well-known company did not work at all. Mixing was not the burden I expected it to be, and the application was quite easy. Rather than using a Q-tip, I turned around Q-tip using the wooden end, and this applied just the right amount of the product to produce the desired result. If you are wavering about whether or not to buy, just buy it. It just works! It's probably just graphite powder suspended in water glass, but it's far easier just to buy it already made than to make it yourself, especially when you really only need a little. The container has sufficient quantity to repair at least, by my estimate, 500 remote controls.

I have mixed feels about the performance of this product. It is certainly very conductive. As many reviewers have written, the cost of the product wasn’t prohibitive, so I thought I’d give it a chance. I was attempting to repair a remote that has soft touch, rubbery control buttons. I had two identical remotes to repair, so here’s what I tried. On the first remote, I simply applied the paint to the contact side of the buttons. It is important to note that the rubbery button already had a conductive coating in it. On the second identical remote, I followed a “helpful tip” written on the product’s packaging that read: “clean surface with alcohol wipe.” So on the second remote, I tried this step. Then I waited 48 hours to dry.Result: Remote one, the conductive paint literally fell off. I had a little pile of little round black circles. Remote two, no problem. The conductive paint worked great!! It’s like having a new remote.If I use this product in the future, I will absolutely prep the surface ahead of time by cleaning with alcohol. I think this is an important step.

We thought the remote for our adjustable bed was a goner until I found this stuff. The first time I tried, it didn't work, so I used alcohol wipes to clean it off & tried again. This time I put it on so lightly that you could barely tell anything was on there, let it dry overnight & now it works like it's brand new saving us like 80 bucks on a new remote! I used a toothpick to get it stirred up real good & a q-tip to gently apply.

I cleaned the rubber keys with alcohol and used a pencil eraser to clean the printed circuit contacts. The remote works well again! I used a toothpick to apply it to the small rubber keys. There is so much material provided in the jar that I will be able to pass it down to my grand kids to use. ;)

don't waste you time with this product. just buy a new replacement or one off ebayI have several key that were iffy or completely dead, now the device is garbagefollow up so i spent a few hours removing this product. i did a little investigation,my device have a 150 ohm contact while this product was apx 5k and up. so it appears to be working with higher resistance. but my device needs lower resistance

I'd never taken very good care of my old Yamaha PSR-230 keyboard, so it finally began to have problems, with a few keys not working properly, some not working at all anymore. Fortunately, I found a replacement for it ... a fully-functional used PSR-230 that someone was selling for $39.00. I intended to throw the old one out on trash pickup day, but then decided to try this product as a last resort ... without much confidence, after having read other reviews that weren't very encouraging. I'd cleaned the contact pads and circuit board contacts with denatured alcohol, and followed the product's instructions carefully ... stirring it periodically during the application to ensure that it remained thoroughly mixed. When finished, I thought I'd done a pretty good job, with the 122 contact pads looking "like new". The unfortunate result was that after this "fix", the instrument had twice as many dysfunctional/nonfunctional keys.In this instrument, the keys are connected between two separate I/O ports of an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller which, I suspect, measures the striking timing and force in order to provide a touch response feature, like a conventional piano. This simple "fix" is probably not compatible with a switching system with this level of complexity.

So far this product has worked great on my cordless phone keypad. The buttons were not working, even after cleaning. So I thought I would try this product. Here is what I did.1. I cleaned the buttons and the PCB with alcohol to remove any grease and dirt.2. I used a tooth pick to make sure the conductive paint was thoroughly mixed. This takes a few minutes because the conductive material is pretty thick and gunky until you mix it up. I made sure there was no solid material on the sides or the bottom of the jar.3. I used a very fine tip paint brush to apply a very thin but complete coverage of the buttons. I had to wear magnifying glasses to see the buttons up close. However, it was fairly easy to apply a thin layer using this approach.4. I let it dry for 24 hours.5. I put the cordless phone back together and the phone works great.Now I am not sure how long it will last but even if it lasts a few months, it would be easy to do again. So far I am happy with the process and the results.

Bought this to redo the connection for my power chair. The application has fallen off and we’ve had to reapply it three times the areas that it has not fallen off it works. But getting a good application has taken some time.
