Interesting thread which prompts me to raise a related question.

I'm using silver epoxy as part of an EMC/ESD shield. It connects a 
conductive enclosure to a PWB ground plane.

Generally we get a DC resistance across the epoxy joint of about 3 Ohms. 
However after we subject a device to an ESD spike we find the resistance 
drops by maybe an Ohm or so.

Anyone got an idea what's happening?

Thanks,
