Anti static foam?

I'm thinking about trying this tweak and am curious how you install it (Elizabeth?). Do you just pack it in your equipment or do you have to put something between the foam and the boards? I don't want to start a fire or short out a circuit. At the low cost of this anti static foam, and with the crazy amounts of static I have here in the cold dry air here in Colorado, I'm thinking that this would be a worthwile thing to do but I just need some instruction on what and what not to do when installing the foam in my components and which components I can do and which ones I shouldn't do. Thanks!

Stick the foam into the baggies.. You do not want the foam and baggies to separate if you flip the unit over...
Just run the wire into the bag.. poke the stripped end of the wire right through the baggies into the foam, then connect the other end to a chassis screw.

I love how much audio geeks (myself included) are willing to help one another out for absolutly no gain!

Hey, Elizabeth, is the pink foam okay? No one around me has black foam but they do have the pink foam. And as far as baggies to put the foam in, should I be using the anti-static baggies from the computer stores? Thanks again!!
