They made me take an ESD course
at work and well I have a few comments
I feel forced to make.
Forgive me.
static mats are poor conductors which allow the
charge to equalize slowly.
Humans, in fact are not poor conductors.
So the only purpose of the wrist strap
is to keep you at the same potenti
I would like to caution builders on that method - or the use of any
fully conducting surface on the top of the work area.
The chances where a short can occur when two or more voltage-live
circuits come in contact with the fully conductive surface is just too
great IMHO.

I used a large piece of PC board and a ?? 100 K resister to ground

Due to the recent subject of Anti Static mats, I did a little googling
and thought I'd share my findings.
