Turns out the mirror finish on my acrylic sheets is slightly conductive. Really everything is conductive at a high enough voltage. Might try to do some drawings and stuff on acrylic in the future with these methods.

I also have another acrylic material with silver flakes embedded in the plastic. Of course those silver flakes are also highly conductive!

I just test em in the microwave

Interestingly, hot glue is conductive.. at low voltages it messed up a few arduino positioning projects I made. It warms up and changes the calibration constantly. Maybe I shouldn't have used so much though..

Silicone! I'm going to do my best to design initially without silicone, and then coat in silicone before sending to customers

Yes, metal is used either has a film or a deposited layer on both glass and acrylic mirrors so there will be some conductivity
