I saw that on my facespace this week,
I assume its a better refined version of the conductive paint that was about 30 odd years ago.

The pens were kicking about years ago. I didn’t rate them, the paint was better.

Did you not used to get something similar for repairing heated rear windows, sure I can remember using one on one of my Cortinas,

I used the paint a lot on the cars back in the day, also on alarm tape . Anyone remember that lol?
I got a kit from Opal, the bloody instructions were in german! Most I could work out but bimspulven had me stumped. Bimspulven = scouring power.
I tried the paint and pens for repairing circuit boards in studio photographic flash units. I gave that idea up when it blew a hole through the board. Back to replacing burnt out sections with wire and solder.
I used to be able to repair multi layer PCB's using a track repair kit (loads of differently sized track on an Airfix type thing) and araldite
The boards for the flash units were badly designed from the outset, 8 x 25A diodes on one board wasn’t a good idea. A 1000kJ unit can discharge 400A @660V in less than 1/250th of a second, the track became a fuse after a while in use. Either that or the tracks would flashover, whichever way it went, it resulted in a hole through the board.
I made the mistake of plugging a flash head in to a fully charged power pack. It blew the 20 way plug and socket apart, it didn’t do my hand much good either.
