Product Description
MADE IN CANADA
838AR is an economical carbon conductive paint that consists of a 1-part, solvent-based acrylic lacquer, pigmented with highly conductive carbon powder. It is smooth, durable, and abrasion resistant. It can be easily applied by brush or spray. It has a quick dry time, with no heat cure necessary. It adheres strongly to most injection-molded plastics, such as ABS, PBT and PVA. It provides strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for use in marine environments.
838AR is excellent for creating grounded surfaces and in low frequency RFI shielding applications, such as pickup cavities on electric guitars. It is also perfect for shielding metal detectors and other devices where a metal-filled conductive paint would cause malfunction.

not effective
absolutely not for shielding guitars. Put a coat in all the cavities and checked with a multimeter the next day ZERO conductivity even when I placed the probes 1mm apart. Expensive mistake. Even if it did work each jar only does 1 guitar. NG Response: "This is 100% for shielding guitars. Did you pre-mix thoroughly and apply multiple coats, as is required with all carbon shielding paint for shielding guitars? If yes, and this was still your result, it's possible you received a bad batch. Contact customer service for a free replacement."
