This video answers the age-new question: Can you solder to silver circuit trace ink? The answer is yes, but it probably would take some practice, and it doesn’t work all that well. Update: Overloading a Circuit Because the impedance of the silver ink was so high, I decided to try and overload it with far too much current to see what would happen. The video includes trying to power a 40W light bulb at 120 VAC through the paper circuit as well as a dead short at 30 VDC! The upshot is that it did not start a fire, and the silver trace failed in a controlled manner. That’s bad for the drama of a YouTube video, but a good … Continue reading
