Where each section met mechanically, it was isolated electrically
with two little pieces of black electrical tape. Since the isolation
segments are virtually invisible - and because the tape is pushing the
two segments apart - I also put a couple of 2x2 plates on the 2x8 ties
to hold the segments together securely and to see the "zone ends".
