I recently saw these at Fry's electronics near the PCB etching supplies. It's a conductive pen for fixing PCB probs and they also had another pen to protect the conductive pen (sort of like a clear-coat I guess). I'm guessing GC makes it cause it was near all the other GC products. If that's what you're looking for, let me know and I can get some info when I head over there next.
