    Is this the stuff everyone recommends using?

    I'm thinking of using this stuff rather than a window defroster repair kit as I need it to hold up long term. And I figured the epoxy would be more robust.

    Interested to know how you plan on using this to fix your DMD. One of my DMD's has a row out and the leg from the PCB to the glass is broken where it meets the glass. Is this the same problem you're trying to fix or are you fixing something else?

    The defroster repair is usually copper conductor and they recommend a silver conductor for DMD repair. I have used the silver on a DMD and it has worked for two years so far.
    That looks like the correct stuff and is the same price.
    I would think the copper one would work too though.

    Quoted from cdnpinballer:

    Yes. You need to chip/grind back the glass to expose the lead and then rejoin the connection. There are a few different ways to do it, I figured I'd go the epoxy route.

    I think Edward Cheung used a product called nickel print. See his DMD repair below.
