I've been wanting an anti-ESD for my workbench for awhile now, but the cost has been prohibitive. Finally, I found one on AliExpress for $25 and figured even if I got exactly what I paid for, at that price it was worth a shot. I got it today, and one thing I've found strange is that the "top" green layer measures Hi-Z on my multimeter, regardless of your close the multimeter probes are. The *bottom* side, however, measures a resistance of 1-3MOhms, which is what I expected to see on the top layer. Am I incorrect in my assumption that the top layer should register a resistance across it instead of insulating like I'm seeing, or should I just flip the mat and use the "bottom" side as my work surface?
