ERS employs a carbon fiber mesh layer layered into the paper. Carbon fiber is conductive. The website specifically warns about not allowing the egdes to contact live uninsulated surfaces.
Looking at your photo, I am not surprised your components blew up.
You could have simply applied a layer of tape over the edges as an insulator and avoided such issues.
