i would say wood or cardboard is pretty cheap

Ok just wasn't sure if that was ok to just lay it on there.

It's really not...paper/cardboard make good static generators. I used square aluminum tube with standoffs. Kinda hard to explain...I have no pics at the moment.

STATIC GENERATORS

care to input some credibility to that claim
how does something laying static (without motion) generate STATIC

http://www.esda.org/fundamentalsP1.html

"An electrostatic charge also may be created on a material in other ways such as by induction, ion bombardment, or contact with another charged object. However, triboelectric charging is the most common."

Not saying that something laying without motion will generate it...I personally just go with what I was taught in the class and follow the same ESD precautions that I would use in electronics manufacturing. Why take a risk with expensive hardware.
