Johannes, I saw this post of yours and have been considering this as
a solution. My primary concerns are:
Will the tape last? Will the foil last? Would the foil somehow rust
or corrode (due to climate issues [I live in the North East USA where
it's pretty damn cold right now, and condensation concerns me,
perhaps foolishly])? How would the foil affect the contacts on the
pcb?
Any insight?
