MG Chemicals Total Ground Carbon Conductive Coating, 340 g (12 Oz) Aerosol Can, Dark Grey

This type of coating was used in the early picture tube manufactur days. It was used as the inner coating of the picture tube to spread the 25 thousand volts evenly through the bell of the tube. It worked very well . I do electrostatic flocking for vintage record player turntables and jukeboxes. I have been asked to to do other flocking that required a ground potential for a 30kv static charge. The item that needed this very special flocking were non-metallic which rendered my process unusable. While researching for an electrical conductive paint to use for the ground anode for my process, I tried Amazon and discoverd this product which appears to be the same I used many years ago while rebuilding color and black and white picture tubes, except it is an aerosole can.It works great and as I perfect flocking non electrical items, I intend to use a lot more of this great coating.

works great! Was able to spray it on plastic and then nickel plate it.. It preformed better then expected even though I rushed the whole process and didnt let the paint cure very long...

Product directions stipulate a minimum of two coats. I used five over bare, smooth wood on the control and pickup cavities of a guitar I modded.After drying I used a multi-meter to check for continuity. There was none.Okay then maybe another two coats.Still nothing.At this point, I gave up and went old-school: Copper tape.Cheaper and works every time.

I bought 2 cans. The paint is OK. Amazon, whose only business is mail order, still cannot pack anything liquid. Throw it in a too-big box with a couple of air bubbles. One can was dented on two sides, and the cap had fallen off. Some paint had sprayed inside the box, and it was pretty smelly when I opened it. Definitely not a child proof cap. The cap should have been secured for shipping, and cushioned. But don't worry, it is only a $16 can of paint with an explosive gas propellant (butane). See all the hazard warnings on the can? Same problem every time I buy liquid and soap. Protect the sides, forget the hammer force on the ends every time UPS drops the box. Big mess. CUSHION THE ENDS, GENIUSES!!!!

Very easy to use, coats nicely & thoroughly providing an unbroken EMF shield in the control and PU cavities.I used this product to coat the control cavity & the pickup cavities on a J-type 5-string bass that I was upgrading (by adding an Artec EXP Expand-to-Peak/Flat-Boost Controller) and then used 1/2" square pads of copper tape with conductive adhesive soldered to wires to connect each of the cavities to a common ground (rather than adding screwed in grounding lugs in each cavity connected by wire). This cleaned up the noise and the hum I was getting and was way cheaper than using copper tape with conductive adhesive alone to line the cavities and just as effective.Excellent value for the money! A single can covers ~9 sq-ft, which allows you to use two coats on about 10 different guitars for less than $20 (at the current price)! Or you can EMF shield your guitar as well as your amp and other equipment on a single can.Ensure you mask the cavities properly and cleanly, it's almost impossible to remove if you have any over-spray that gets on the guitar body. I used blue masking tape to line the edges of each cavity and then covered the rest of the body (with neck removed) with paper and was able to get a relatively clean application of two coats. I did mask around the screw holes for the control plate on the control cavity so that there was contact being made when the plate was installed and screwed down. I also slightly bent the copper pad used to connect the grounds on each cavity over the edge of the control cavity to make contact with the control plate as well.Much easier and cheaper to use than copper tape with conductive adhesive, though the copper has much lower resistance. Holding the ohm meter leads about an inch and a half apart I get a reading of ~2K for this coating, which is on par with other carbon based paints used for EMF shielding in common use (even on new guitars from name brand manufacturers).Make sure you follow the instructions on turning the can upside down and clearing the nozzle after you are done, otherwise the next time you try to spray it may be clogged and not working anymore.

It worked far better than expected !I used this product to shield the control and pickup body cavities of an electric guitar I am building. I applied 2 coats. Each coat sprayed on evenly and easily. 2 coats used very little of the contents in the can. I am sure I will be able to get, at least, 5 guitars out of this can. The continuity tester affirmed the product worked extremely well.

an expensive item that takes great care and patience to aply. be sure to aply thin coatings and allow to dry thoroughly between aplications

Terrible product. It doesn't conduct well therefore it's useless.Used almost the entire can on a small strip of smooth wood (1.5" x 12")... tested the resistance across 1" of the surface and it is well over 500ohms. Useless for any shielding work.With only 2 coats (as recommended on the can) there were kilohms of resistance even with the meter's probes almost touching.Huge waste of time and money.
