I have a static sensitive circuit with a small battery compartment
located just underneath, almost touching. Since there is a chance for
shorts, what could I put between the circuit board bottom and battery
box? Some of the IC's are static sensitive, so not a plastic that build
charge. Since this was a homemade project, is there anything I could
use from around the house?

Isn't paper traditionally used for that? For covering a small area, you
could probably cut a square out of a latex glove for something more
insulating (although also likely to rot faster).
