        @theru I'm finding there are more. Light blue, dark blue, light gray, dark gray, black, beige, green. Probably more...

            @theru Yep, I'm leaning toward the dark blue or the dark gray.

                @theru Ah the different colors are different types. Hight temp, single layer (harder surface), three layer (softer surface), etc...

                      @theru Or have all the colors. (Man, you'd end up with a headache trying to find your parts on this thing!)

      @nybill hmm is ESD something I ought to worry about when I work with exposed electronics? I've been lucky not to damage anything yet.

        @ericxdu23 I've never used one. Maybe I've been lucky as well.

        But, I realized while trying to repair a faulty Fluke 87-3 I had a perfectly working Fluke 83-3 apart to get some reference voltages from. I could zap that one and end up with 2 door stops.

        I figure a mat can't hurt.

          @nybill oh the mat goes under the equipment. I always had the impression you stood on it.

            @ericxdu23 Yes, that is a different type of mat. In some super lab situations there is a floor mat, a work surface mat, and even shoes that conduct static away.

            This is the work surface type. Top is anti-static, bottom is conductive (and tied to a ground point.) There are snaps and attachment points to ground yourself or other equipment.

            This one is also heat resistant for the soldering & hot air work.

            (Pic of the ground point and wrist strap.)
