I don't understand the question but, being weird, let me try this.
The Lancair Legacy (at least the one I dealt with for a while) skins were
"bonded" at the skin joggles and basic skin to skin joints with "black"
epoxy. I believe that chopped carbon fabric was used in the epoxy (thus,
making it black) - check with Lancair. In any event, there was electrical
conductivity between these parts. Hysol is generally used to bond the
skin to flanged ribs and other structural elements where these elements are made
of non-conductive glass - no need to use a conductive adhesive.
For conductivity to outer wing panels, control surfaces, canopy and
cowling, straps can be used. If one is installing static wicks, there is
conductive (though pricey) silvered bonding agents for the wick to fuselage
terminus. Remember that Legacy wingtips are made of glass and wicks located
there require a bonding strap.
