Thunderbird 382 Posted November 2, 2013 Hi All I want to shield my pickguard and control cavity would this stuff be suitable? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EMI-COPPER-FOIL-SHIELDING-TAPE-SELF-ADHESIVE-/390686022776?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Other&hash=item5af6b39c78"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EMI-COPPER-FOIL-SHIELDING-TAPE-SELF-ADHESIVE-/390686022776?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Other&hash=item5af6b39c78[/url] And how much would I need meter wise to do a proper good job? Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiOgon 695 Posted November 2, 2013 Yes ideal - you can get wider tape or even sheets - less joins 1m would do a P bass I reckon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderbird 382 Posted November 3, 2013 Just to clarify to I cover the whole inside of the control cavity ie just stick the shielding over the wood and everywhere inside ? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul_5 1,174 Posted November 3, 2013 yup. If you want to be [i]really[/i] thorough I'd do the pickup cavities as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Foxen 7 Posted November 3, 2013 Probably need to solder that stuff, but you don't need to do whole seals just enough its all electrically connected, I usually do a smear of solder where three pieces meet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorks5stringer 1,828 Posted November 3, 2013 [i]Or buy the stuff with conductive adhesive, then you don't need to solder at the joints....![/i] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul_5 1,174 Posted November 3, 2013 I used some aluminium tape that I found in Aldi a couple of months ago - Aluminium is really good at magnetic shielding too! It's supposed to be for pipes or gutters or something of that ilk, but it's really good at bass cavities as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bartelby 1,135 Posted November 3, 2013 I recently used that seller. The delivery took 3 days, not one, but it was free delivery so you can't complain really. They do copper tape with conductive adhesive for £4 for 4 metres. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
