Mark, I would not put any of the transistors into ordinary plastic bins - I stick them into the ESD foam. The other components (resistors, capacitors and *most* diodes) are not ESD sensitive and can be placed into any sorting thing of your choice.
Yes, if things are "winter dry", spray your wife's anti-cling stuff on your clothing, chair, work surface and on the floor under your feet - it may help, and it cannot hurt. I keep a can of that stuff in my car during the winter - when the car "bites" me after I get out and reach to close the door, I spray the seats - it works. I also use it when working on the insides of computers located on a carpeted office floor - good stuff. Static Guard is one brand. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/18/2010 4:20 PM, ve7ymm wrote: > I used a static strap and mat when building my K1& K2.
