the second one down is the one that the guy at the store recommended for my application.....

Think this will do the trick as opposed to all the damn copper tape etc..?

I mixed up some stuff like that  a few years ago. Put it in storage and it expanded and most of it leaked out of the can. Call up the company and ask how long you can store it and keep it in a cold spot. Its a good idea it just did not work for me. Maybe I should have split it between 2 cans. live and learn.

Sounds similar to the conductive shielding paint from stew-mac. I think it would work, maybe not as well as copper tape, but would definitely be easier to apply. One disadvantage could be the price or storage life.

Storage Life: 6 months from date of shipment in unopened container. Older material should be checked for surface resistivity before using.

I used the stuff from stew-mac on my homebrew guitar, and it's kept it shielded just fine for over 8 years of heavy use.

It actually works very well. You need to apply several coats, and don't expect it to be as durable as tape, but it's a LOT easier to use.

Just make sure to cover your bases and make sure all painted surfaces are connected to each other.

The biggest con for me was expense, but you can do a couple guitars with a can. I don't know anything about storage life though...got it in the mail and used it immediately.
