Easily solved with some ESD spray: Not affiliated with Jensen, just did some googling and found a place that sells it in single cans. https://www.jensentools.com/product/160-188-1726-QT

> Fast drying, anti-static coating eliminates static charge and reduces triboelectric generation from flexible surfaces.

The page unfortunately doesn't explain what this is or how it works. Is it a conductive coating so that it can dissipate the electricity into something else, or does it form a shielding layer instead so that it won't zap stuff?

Beware of toxicity of unknown conductive sprays, especially in enclosed spaces.
It should be slightly conductive, and you need to ground the surface somewhere, but I can't find any very specific information on this product.
