I'm trying to find the resistivity of conducting putty at room temperature and I've been looking all over google with no success. There isn't really anything more I can do to work it out so I'm wondering if anyone here knows. Thanks :)

hmm … you're not very good at using google :redface:

the first hit for "resistivity of conducting putty" is http://www.ibotz.com/conducting-putty.html which says of its product …
A cylinder 60mm long and 20mm in diameter has a resistance of approximately 20 Ohms.​

… so what is the resistivity? :smile:
