At
the suggestion of +Andrew Hall a batch of conductive glue was mixed from
silicone and graphite powder. The goal was to make a flexible, waterproof, and
conductive glue. A jar was partially filled with clear silicone then graphite
powder was added. The ingredients were mixed with a wooden toothpick identical
to the toothpicks used previously in this experiment. The mixture was dark and
glittery. A thick line was painted using the toothpick as a stylus.

A
resistivity test was conducted after the line dried for two hours. The
resistance appeared to be ∞Ω so the probes were unfastened to place the tips
closer together but no resistance could be measured at any distance. The
mixture had an attractive appearance but was not a suitable conductor.
