Hey Guys,

Been on this forum for a while now and this is my first post.

In what ways can you make felt material conductive below 200 ohms resistivity?

Thanks.

RE: How to make felt conductive?

There are felts (i don't know if they are wool or synthetic) that have very fine metal wire in them.
They are for static dissipation.
There are also 100% metallic felts, not very soft though.

It must be dry and it not scratch glass surfaces. I'm abit hesitant about using metals such as silver. Thanks for the replies, any more great ideas?
