My question is, why would a sabrest by worried about a conductive floor anyway? Just something metalic so they can wack their weapon against it when they miss a touch and make that cool sound?
But seriously, there are all kinds of conductive materials available and some are even in use in other parts of the world. Conductive rubber, aluminum screen, stainless steel plate, steel plate..etc. The issue is what is the most cost effective and long lasting. Paint is not the answer since it is not long lasting and not cost effective ($500 a gallon). Softer materials such as rubber or impregnated vinyl tile don't have a long life span due to their nature to gouge or tear when struck by a weapon. Most fencing salles opt for steel or stainless steel perforated plates that are permanently laid flush with the surrounding floor covering. The initial cost seem high, but the life span of the material is practically limitless. There by making it a very cost effective conductive floor covering.

It states it has a resistance of approximately 0.7 Ohms/Sq. It doesn't say Sq what, Let us assume it is a Sq Inch. It is over 500 inches from end to end, so over 350 Ohms. The maximum resistance between any 2 points is less than 5 Ohms (M.57) the same as a lame'. It will be an expensive test that won't work.

I still havent done it yet..... Ive been bombarded with the start of school... I do plan on experimenting still.... we have plenty of lame's in the back of the armory with dead spots.
And seeing that its only a 25 dollar experiment i can handle that.

Copper, Nickel or Silver PRINT is the answer (in relative order of expense). This is a "paint" that used to be commonly used in electronics to paint a connection or repair a board. A little harder to find nowadays. It makes the lame's look like crap, but it works!!!! And, if a patch of it distracts the inspecting armorer from a really suspect patch, well.....
