Members georgestrings Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 I've been using aluminum automotive muffler tape for a few years and it works fine. It's easier to find than the copper tape - any hardware store should have it. The only difference is that solder won't stick to it, so I have to make conductive 'bridges' out of upside-down aluminum tape in order create a completely conductive shield. I just finished shielding my Stingray 4 and it is much quieter now - even in my horribly grounded apartment! Yeah, I use tip tape that is usually used on duct work - I either bridge it in a method like yours(I typically run a small screw through the bridges to insure a good, long lasting contact), or run a ground wire between cavities... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bpocall Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 I like using the shielding paint instead of the tape. It is easier to get in nooks and crannies. +1, and it doesn't shred your fingertips to ribbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Markee Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 ...throw it back in the water........huh? I use paint instead of tape as well. Mikie Lull turned me onto a source nearby. The paint is kind of thick so I use copper tape under the pick guard so it fits flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
