The thin sheet copper is very difficult to impliment. it does not bend. The ony way is to wrap it flat, two flat sides pressed together. so the flat can be rotated to make any twists needed.
The other material is antistatic foam. The black type. roll it around the wires, then that MUST be grounded to be effective. Sticking bare wire into the foam and down to the AC ground pin is fine. if you use multi strips of antistatic foam, each should either be connected with bare wire, oor bare wire to ground to be effective.
I wrapped my antistatic foam shield with plumbers teflon tape. With the ground wire inside the teflon tape. Works great.
You can tell the effectiveness of you shield with a $22 GreenLee GT-16 non contact voltage detector. From Amazon. The Greenlee is the better device compared to others in around the same price range (yes I tried them, the others SUCK sompared to Greenlee)
