It takes a surprising amount of carbon black to make a coating that's conductive. The stuff is also known as acetylene black. If you can't find a source for a small to moderate amount, find a (gas) welder and a piece of sheet metal. Have him/her light the torch, but don't turn on the oxygen. Just play the yellow smokey flame under a piece of metal and you'll quickly get a huge deposit of carbon black. Scrape it off into a jar. This was the original manufacturing process. I've also made conductive coatings using a ground up drawing lead. It has to be the softest type, HB I think.

There are soluble dissipative Teflon like materials as well as solvents and adhesion promoters. There is PET, conductive in bulk... There is Teflon coated anti-static Kapton film, specifically designed to withstand corona in x-formers and such.
No doubt it would last more than 2 years, more likely 15...25 Why someone expects 11 years from home-brewed mix... (staff made by professional chemist does not fall in this category) Why some reputable KS company, for instance, is not using it... Infamous bottom line P.G.
