Hi Arno, John gave you the short answer...the MFG should have installation instructions. In all of the installation I have been party, there is a grid of copper tape laid down in the conductive adhesive. This keeps the adhesive from getting excessively resistive over large areas. Surface resistance tests run anywhere from 100k-400k ohms when it's all done. Note that if you are installing relay racks or metal benches that you can run into ground loops. Have a Great Day, Dave Spencer Oresis Communications
