>>"I am thinking I will get some aluminum sided insulation that you see in rolls at Lowes and use it as an assembly mat.
The normal anti-static mat has a high resistance per square. An aluminum mat will have a very low resistance. How much damage is done to a powered up board when it is placed the aluminum mat? Keep in mind that boards that have a battery or a super-cap are powered up. Boards with real-time-clocks are powered up. Boards that have non-volatile memory might be powered up. I'll let someone else address the people safety issue.
