Well, when last I did this, I remember the RF "bonding" tape was nickel

plated coper foil with a collodial silver stickey backing. As I
remember, it worked perfectly, if somewhat expensively.



Sounds similar to something you can get in the heating and cooling sections
of the big box hardware stores. It is thin aluminum tape with sticky on it.
Seems like reversing it once in a while, or at the ends would get the al to
al contact, to bypass the non conductive sticky.

I have a feeling this would suffer from the same problem that riviting
suffers from, namely small gaps.
