Questions & Answers

Is this shield large enough to shield more than one guitar?

I agree to say that there is enough space in there to do a couple

Does it take a lot of mixing to get an adequate mixture? Copper tape has always been my go-to, but will this truly be ?

Due to the settling of the carbon, the paint has become very diluted and Moreover, copper tape has higher conductivity and is easier to apply to longer term applications because copper tape is thermoconductive as well as only conductive. However, copper tape is cleaner and the conductivity is more easily tailored to longer-term applications due to its easier density and duration.

This is what I would use to ground a wire on a screw to the cavity in the control?

That's exactly right. In an Ideal situation, the paint must be worn inside the cavity, then the shielding paint applied. It is better to apply three layers of this paint, for a perfect shield. Compared to aluminum foil shielding, this one is much better looking. Voici a tip Wire the ground cable through the shielded cavity to connect the bridge.

I would like to use this paint with my grandchildren for simple electronics projects - Can I use it? What are the best ways to connect light sources?

As far as conducting on porous surfaces goes, it doesn't have any issue on paper.

This is overspray
3/5

Be sure all overspray has been sanded out of the body cavities if you want this stuff to stick. This thing refused to fit my Warmouth Strat body for the life of me. This recording is enough to make four guitars. I'll stick to the tape next time. It is not something I will use.

The shielding of guitars and basses is a great addition to them
5/5

The Conductive Shielding Paint is a great product for protecting electronics inside cavities in your guitar or bass. It's easy to apply to the cavities. As long as it gets a bit of ventilation in the garage, we applied it there and it went on easily and dried quickly. A ten out of five stars rating is what I give it I totally admit it, by the way. . . . I didn't want to get this shielding paint from the paint store, so I bought it from Amazon instead.

It works just like advertisement
5/5

Earlier this year, I picked up a cheap Squier Strat with shot electronics and decided to upgrade it. On my guitar I put the Fender Tex-Mex The pickup guard was loaded and a few other upgrades were done. All the screws were reassembled, but when I touched any metal part it would produce a loud hum that cut in and out. I apparently grabbed a radio signal when I touched both the output jack and the bridge at the same time. Those are the sounds coming from my guitar amp, just like in In order to paint the cavity completely, I picked up this paint. It's true I forgot to pull the strings off as I was rushing to get down to work. After all of the paint, shielding, and reassembling had been done, the hum had gone away. if I put my ear directly beneath a fluorescent light, inches from the pickups, it still sounded great. You will definitely get what you paid for with this.

It worked great for my Strat build
5/5

I usually use copper shielding tape, but I tried this one out instead. It is a very small can, but there is a lot of it. It doesn't even appear as though I have dented the can with two Strats. As of now, I am very pleased with how it shields compared to the copper tape method, but I will know for sure once I finish the project!.

When it comes to guitar repairs and upgrades, STEWMAC is the only place I go
5/5

My first attempt at purchasing this shielding paint from a different retailer failed because their price or free delivery simply could not be beaten. As a matter of fact, it came on Friday was the date when I ordered it. It has been over 55 years since I played my '62 Goldtop, so my humbuckers don't "hoommm". StewMac has once again been instrumental in this guitar success!.

The conductivity has been watered down
5/5

I haven't tested it yet and still haven't been zapped, so I am not sure if it works.

I found working with him easy
5/5

A nice coating, it dries quickly with no fumes, and it is easy to clean up after. The price tag is a bit high,.
