Does anyone know of a glue that conducts electricity?

[Djw John]

And sticks metal to glass at the same time!

Please!!

rear screen heater gone?

sorry i'm no help! can only think of solder, but that wont help with glass! you can get sticky back metal tho

 

[Dink]

conductive glue that sticks metal to glass?

araldite + iron filings?

 

[Djw John]

Getting to that stage Dink! Tried everything bar soldering I cna think of. Convinced I'll shatter teh screen if I solder though.

Rob, you got it 1!

Surely?

 

[Djw John]

Dont think it'll do any of the things I need!

Try this stuff:

[Djw John]

Already have but its not sticky

What are the chances of it mixing with glue?

halfords do a heater element paint specifically for the rear window

 

[Djw John]

As said mate Ive tried that already.

The problem is the metal bit that attaches to the window has come off and it needs to be stuck back on but also conduct!

Is soldering likely to crack the glass?

 

[Robfow]

Think solder melts somewhere in the region of 250 degrees c, which is rather hot....straight onto cold glass that'd crack it, but if you could heat the glass up first to try and minimise the temperature difference...not sure how well it'd work though.

intelligent answer i know.

 

[MT AUDIO]

can you not glue the bit that attaches it to the screen then put the apint to that?

 

[Djw John]

mmm suppose could gradually heat the outside with water and the inside with a hairdryer, build it up gradually

One idea is to melt the solder onto the metal connecter, allow it to dry and the heat the opposite side of the connector which may keep the heat off the glass.

Or is that bullshit?!

this?

Rear Screen Heater Tab Adhesive

don't know how it works but sounds right

 

[Leeshez]

New rear screen, costly but hey

I love you. Ordering it now!!

you can get silver conductive pens - think Maplins do them - epoxy paste with silver impregnated in it.
