Unless the case design is really awkward I wouldn't use spray on=20
products. Sprays are tricky to apply because it requires an even coating=20
on all surfaces and you need it to be a specific thickness to reduce the=20
RF .

I would go with copper foil tape and copper mesh  if the entire box=20
needs to be shielded. The aluminum tape like that sold for HVAC work is=20
cheap and can work but you can't solder to it like the copper products.
Do you need the entire box to be shielded or could you just shield a=20
specific part of the board with a metal enclosure , like those used on=20
rf tuners ?
