Thanks for that, Jim. I have a problem with my foil causing an on-again,
off-again analog clock, and despite replacing the clock, refreshing the
clocks' innards, and repeated inspections of the foil powering the
clock, the problem persists. There must be a hairline crack in the foil
and I'm going to give it one more go before giving it up as a bad job.
Sounds like applying conductive ink where it can be applied couldn't hurt.
