[sdiy] Studio Electrical Wiring Questions

[Gene Stopp]

Okay okay twice in the last few weeks now I've seen reference to a new
product in the Real Estate section of the LA times. It must be an omen for
me to say something about it on the DIY list in reference to studio
design... each time I read it, I immediately thought "hey - would that
work???"

The product is a paint for your walls that has metal in it, so magnets stick
to your walls and you can plaster up kid pictures and other junk without
making nail holes. So I read this and the first thing that pops into my head
is "Faraday cage? hmmmm...."

whoa - how about a coating for ribbon controllers? does it conduct?

Speaking of wild-ass ideas...

Best Regards,

- Gene

Another thing I'm tempted to try is building a faraday cage.  If you're in
a basement, and insulating the walls w/ foam sheets, you might be able to
build one for cheap by soldering jumpers to the aluminum foil faces and
bonding the whole thing to your ground rod.  Just a wild-assed idea...
