 Gerard,
 
 Static wicks on an insulator constructed of glass?
 
 That might be okay if you bonded everything metallic together, then to
 ground, then to each static wick.
 
 Anyone out there do this?

 There is an oxymoron in that,  somewhere...
 
 PS Static  wicks are functional if the skin is carbon fiber where there is
 skin  conductivity (such as aluminum) and the wicks are useful to discharge
 static buildups, like lightning.  For us pre-preg folk, avoid excessive
 electron
 exchanges by Mother Nature - the bolt just gets confused and when your  wing
 is hit on its way to the ground the natural thing is to  just blast right on
 thru.
