The only wool I own this time of year is a pair of Minus 33 wool thermals that I am wearing as I write. I folded over the tape so the sticky side wouldn't interfere and rubbed it on the pants. Took a few tries, but the tape finally did stick to the wall. So that definitely answers the question and I won't be using it. Thanks for this tip!

Perhaps you could apply the tape before wiping it down with a damp cloth to discharge it, then install the sensitive circuitry whilst there is no charge present.

Used to combat noise interference with audio and video, it must be supplied by a metal raceway or cable system that is an equipment grounding conductor. Connect it past any panelboards and absolutely do not connect it to the panelboard grounding terminal bar, but to independent 3 x 6 ft. independent copper rods completely driven into the ground.   (As per code NEC 517.16 Use of Isolated Ground Receptacles "The grounding terminal on the isolated ground receptacle must be connected by an insulated equipment grounding conductor with one or more yellow stripes which is permitted to pass through one or more panelboards without a connection to the panelboard grounding terminal bar as permitted in 408.40 ...)

I wonder how much of that photography (or other ground detail replications) prosecutors can get their hands on.
