Easily solved with some ESD spray: Not affiliated with Jensen, just did some googling and found a place that sells it in single cans. https://www.jensentools.com/product/160-188-1726-QT

> Fast drying, anti-static coating eliminates static charge and reduces triboelectric generation from flexible surfaces.

The page unfortunately doesn't explain what this is or how it works. Is it a conductive coating so that it can dissipate the electricity into something else, or does it form a shielding layer instead so that it won't zap stuff?

It should be slightly conductive, and you need to ground the surface somewhere, but I can't find any very specific information on this product.

Beware of toxicity of unknown conductive sprays, especially in enclosed spaces.
