Alastsair, I tried the ground strap idea on Feb 14 (a wire to ground from my wedding ring), It didn’t work. I did not try rubber gloves. As a side note I did use my plane the other day…the humidity was 50% and the result was static cling. Yes it is very frustrating. I read about static…and apparently static is created by rubbing anything, whether conductive or not. This is just extreme, and I am surprised that other woodworkers have not had the same issue. I do have latex gloves I can try but I suspect it won’t work, but I’ll try later today and let you know the result.
