It seems to be very conductive for me; at least, at those voltages.  Also, if 
you flatten the edges of the strips down as far as possible using a blunt 
object, you can reduce most of the creases.  In fact, depending on the 
delicacy of your sphere/toroid form, I find that litterally bouncing the 
object in the ground works great.  I had a thick baseball-sized ball made 
similarly to ping pong balls, which I was able to successfully flatten by 
hurling it at concrete.  Oh well, whatever works. 

Good Luck to ya,
