Where to find conductive pens

I just got my AthlonXP 1500, and like most (I assume) the L1 bridges are laser cut. I read over a couple how-tos on how to reconnect the L1 bridges, but I can't find a conductive ink pen anywhere. I checked both local Radio shacks and the salesperson just gave me a dumb look when I asked, and I can't find them on sites like millisec.com or 2cooltek.com. Any suggestions as to where I can find these conductive ink pens or another suitable product would be greatly appreciated.

An alternative that I have heard mentioned is available at automotive stores. winshield defogger repair kit it is also a condutive type of paint / ink. probaly have to use it with a straight pen though.

You can get Circuit Works silver conductive pens from Jameco, in the SF bay area. Their web page is http://jameco.com . Many of the better electronics stores also carry it.
