No longer do you need to worry about what supplies to purchase to prepare for your next electric paint project. The Touch Board Pro Kit from Bare Conductive includes the tools you need to prototype and make everything from interactive wallpaper and talking murals to innovative musical instruments.
Bare Conductive’s Electric Paint is just like any other water-based paint...except that it’s electrically conductive! This means that you can actually paint wires onto things like models, clothes, furniture, walls --- practically anything you can think of. Standard acrylic or water-based paints can even be used alongside Electric Paint to act as insulation or to create multilayer circuitry!
With the included Touch Board Proto Shield you will be able to test more circuit ideas and connection options. The pre-printed electric paint sensors help you immediately start testing your electric paint circuits. Additionally, with the in-depth resource guide you will be able to learn new tips, tricks and techniques for designing your projects.
Note: Electric Paint is not meant for use on skin! Electric Paint is not waterproof, but depending on what your application is, you can paint over it with a waterproof paint or varnish. On the bright side, this does make for easy cleanup.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Noob - Some basic soldering is required, but it is limited to a just a few pins, basic through-hole soldering, and couple (if any) polarized components. A basic soldering iron is all you should need.

Whether it's for assembling a kit, hacking an enclosure, or creating your own parts; the DIY skill is all about knowing how to use tools and the techniques associated with them.
Skill Level: Rookie - Basic hand tools are required and instructions will allow more freedom. You may need to make your own decisions on design. If sewing is required, it will be free-form.

If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
Skill Level: Rookie - You will need a better fundamental understand of what code is, and how it works. You will be using beginner-level software and development tools like Arduino. You will be dealing directly with code, but numerous examples and libraries are available. Sensors or shields will communicate with serial or TTL.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

I have bought many cool things over the years, from hologram machines to lie detectors, this is right up there in the top. If you could invent a conductive paint with multiple colors, that would be extra awesome.
