Talk:Aquadag

Some information on how Aquadag is made should be added.

Use on TV cases
Aquadag is also often seen coating the inside of the rear cover on CRT tvs. 82.31.207.100 (talk) 20:03, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

"Ohms per square"?
What is that supposed to mean? Ohms per square inch? Per square centimeter? Or what? -- 80.171.0.198 (talk) 21:55, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It means, surprisingly, "ohms per square". Unexpected, but quite neat when you work it out.
 * This is the case for resistivity in thin sheets or varying size, but constant thickness (or constant resistance perpendicular to the plane). A resistance wire has resistance proportional to the length, but in a sheet the resistance remains the same with a scaling in its area.
 * Think about combinations of resistors in series and in parallel. Two in series doubles it, two in parallel halves it. So four, in series-parallel, will remain the same. Do it again with a bit more care over the maths and you can prove that this holds for sheets having a resistance that is constant with geometry and so can be expressed as "ohms per square". A square of sheet (or Aquadag coating) will have a resistance that remains the same for a large square or a small square.
