Hello
I am really paranoid about damaging or trashing expensive parts. I dont have an ESD Mat but i have an ESD wrist strap. Is it a good idea to ground myself on the ground pins of a power outlet and Put the parts on a wooden board ?
Also every room in my apartment has a carpet floor (the bath and kitchen have some weird plastic floor which is even worse i think) Is there anything else i can do to minimize the risk of static electricity or will grounding myself be enough ?
Any advice or additional information will be greatly appreciated.
