- There needs to be a minimum of 3 layers of aluminum foil completely surrounding the device.
- Use a minimum of 5 layers if you're not going to be using a second layer of shielding, e.g. the metal trash can.
- The foil must not contact the device directly, so first wrap it in paper or cloth. I use cloth.
- The foil-wrapped device must not touch the inside of the outer Faraday container.
- In order for the Faraday cage to be effective, the metal needs to completely surround the device being protected.
- Use heavy duty aluminum foil, the thicker the better.
