Decades ago, there was a so-called "conductive" epoxy that was promoted as an alternative to solder. Contained metal particles to make it conduct.

I remember reading a couple of magazine-review articles. One written by a guy who built a transceiver, or maybe a receiver kit with it.

He said things worked okay.

I remember another review that was not so positive, but the details are gone with the sands of time.

If it was all that, we would all be using "lead-free" epoxy instead of solder all these years later.
