No need for silver epoxy. Go to Digikey and check out the 3M 1181 Copper Foil.
Here is some information from the datasheet ---

3M 1181 Tape consists of a 1-ounce
deadsoft copper foil backing and a unique
electrically conductive pressure-sensitive
acrylic adhesive.

* Deadsoft 1-ounce copper foil backing
* Conductive acrylic adhesive
* Supplied on a removable liner for easy
  handling and diecutting
* Widths from 1/4" to 23"

3M 1181Tape is typically used for
applications requiring excellent electrical
conductivity from the application substrate
through the adhesive to the foil backing.
Common uses include grounding and EMI
shielding in equipment, components, shielded
rooms, etc. The copper foil backing is
solderable and resists oxidation and
discoloration.
