Assuming one does not have a handy used dryer sheet . . . or a fancy grounding strap to wear . . . what is your "favorite" way to get rid of static electricity?
I had a really close call in the reloading room today because I had noticed the static electricity buildup and didn't do anything about it. Until I reached for a pan of powder on the scale and saw the spark (looked like a spark plug firing!) that ignited it jump from my finger to the pan.
No shit. That was it for the day, for me.

Lotion you ashy bastard.

Copper pipe shoved up your ass and properly grounded?
It hurts less than an explosion.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Thanks for the suggestion. But I am not convinced that putting lotion on all the reloading stuff is a good idea. Wouldn't that make it really difficult to get all the powder out of the scale pan?Originally Posted by Tack Driver

"The voice of experience". I know it when I hear it. Thanks Dale!
Just one question please; should I put lotion on it?

I would, but thats a personal decision.
On a serious note, I've heard that fabric softener mixed with water spayed on the floor in the area you are working helps.

Put it on your hands dummy.Thanks for the suggestion. But I am not convinced that putting lotion on all the reloading stuff is a good idea. Wouldn't that make it really difficult to get all the powder out of the scale pan?

Actually the lotion suggestion is a good idea. Were I work ESD (electrostatic discharge) is a very big deal. We provide our production workers with special ESD lotion. This is used along with grounding straps and ESD monitors. Our benches are grounded, each bench has a ESD resistant mat, special wax for the floors, lab coats, etc..... All it takes is one little spark to ruin a circuit board.
