Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of silver conductive paint (A) extending about 1/8?on both sides of the break. Allow 30 minutes to dry.

Thoroughly mix the paint before use.

4.	Check for continuity in the repaired wire.

5.	Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it dry three hours before removing the tape.
