One roll will be enough for a IV but there is a two roll minimum. The tape has a conductive adhesive so all you need to do is sand the carbon, clean and apply. To connect the empinage to the airframe you can solder a wire to the copper tape. Do not use the hinge, as the static discharges will etch the spherical bearing. Use an Ohm Meter to inspect your work. You know you have done your job when there is <10 ohms between parts. Regards Brent
