Things made of epoxy....

circuit board
transistor cases
chip cases
diode cases
capacitor shells
the goop that boutique builders smear on their parts

In general, no. There are conductive epoxies which consist of the non-conductive basic goop mixed with lots of conductive fibers so that it appears that the stuff conducts. These are rare, special and hard to find.

For normal epoxies, the correct answer is as stated - no.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

"silver epoxy" beside being rare and hard to find, they're EXPENSIVE!
