That's rad you could def use it to control electronic switches or relays to do stuff.

You could even do things like a touch sensitive pot or fader to control CV etc.

What about using it to proto a pcb on a piece of plastic? Would it be too resistive?

thats more what I was thinking. just grab a thin piece of fiber glass and totally forgo etching. makes it easier to make than PCBs and easier to populate than perfboard.

Yeah it would be awesome for that, for fuzzes and simple stuff. Something really complicated might have issues though. For sub ~200R resistors you could just draw a squiggle instead :lol:

theres a picture of them using it with vero board so it sounds like it would work for what i was describing. wouldnt be worth the effort to do anything too complex though
