24 Questions $10 grounding mat

Recently I made a video about building a DIY $10 copper grounding mat and a video on how to test and use a grounding or earthing mat.
I got a lot of questions about making and using my $10 grounding mat so I decided to do a question-and-answer video going over the most common and popular questions on how to make and use and test my $10 copper grounding mat. Sometimes a grounding mat is also called an earthing mat.
