It's not zebra strip.
It's not flexible flat cable FFC which is actual wire.
This stuff is actually adhesive tape with conductive (black) ink.

What is this stuff called so I can search for it?

Anybody seen it for sale anywhere?

thanks
Mark



If it were me though, I would wedge foam in there like others have
suggested.

I should have just arranged something to press and hold it in place
but I already pulled it off, so I'll chalk this on up to lesson
learned. It was a $5 clock so no big deal.

If you come across this stuff, do NOT pull it off, that will only make
it worse.

I was just going to ask if anyone had a URL for this stuff

I wonder if there is a living to be made by a native English speaker
technical author contacting these Chinese and HK companies and charging
for
tidying up their "english"

Actually yes, at least in Japan there is. I don't have any expirence in
China, but I know for a fact here in Japan there are jobs for native
speakers all over the place in correcting "Engrish"..
