Default rear window defroster wire attach

I remember seeing a thread on how to repair a broken wire to the rear window defroster . Seems like there was an conductive adhesive that is made to reattach the power wire in lieu of soldering. I tried searching the archives but could not find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to if such an adhesive exists and where to find it. Thanks

Silver epoxy. Electrically conductive to complete the circuit. Works! :yesnod:

And I've successfully use JB Weld between the conductive attachment points for some additional insurance.

Use a wipe with carb cleaner or laquer thinner to clean the glass before applying adhesive.
