Hi Mark, I use a anti-static mat and wrist strap also. I prefer a compartment sorter also, but you can get anti static sorter trays, for money, hi. Most are not anti-static and can cause problems. I use 18 egg cartons with the top cut off, no static. The cartons also have another advantage. You can poke the leaded parts vertical through the material.

I left the sensitive componants, the ones in esd foam in the bag until needed. I did, however, sort the other parts into plastic bins with compartments such as are used for screw assortments. Is this not recomended? If not, what should be used? Would this be okay if the bins were sprayed with my wife's anti-cling stuff?
