What a load of rubbish that design is. Any friction will build up a charge, bye bye ESD sensitive devices, even with a wrist strap!

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] PCB holder
This homebrew PCB holder
<
http://www.qrpbuilder.com/downloads/pcb_holder_you_can_build.pdf> was
referenced on another email reflector. It is constructed mostly of
polyethylene and nylon.
Is it OK to work with ESD sensitive devices using this PCB holder? Seems
like polyethylene and nylon are good insulators which would be good at
holding a static electricity charge?
Does it help if the PCB holder is laying on the ESD mat which I have on
my workbench and with which I use a wristband?
Thanks.
