Step 4Assembling the Pads
We use book binding tape to assemble the pads for a couple of reasons.
First, the glue is very sticky (once it sets).
Second, the tape material itself is a weaved fabric, so it is very strong.
Third, it is easy to work with and is a clean material.

Tape the top side of one pad, making sure the amount of tape being used is approximately half the width.
Place the top edge of a second pad 3mm (or the width of your foam wrap) away from the first pad, with both metallic faces upwards.
Place the foam in between the pads, fold them over and tape the opposite open edge. The construction should look like a little sandwich.
Make sure to have 3 strips of foam, one each on opposite edges, and one in the middle to push the pads apart. And, make sure there's enough space between foam pieces so that they pad will easily make contact when pressed. Cut the foam to fit the sensor when you're done.
