It is a hell of a lot easier to solder a 100K-1Meg resistor to a solder lug
with very short leads, clip the other end of the resistor short and either
file the open end to a point or solder a sewing pin end to the open end to
give that sharp point. Shrink sleeve the whole works except for a tiny bit
of the pin tip and the area where you are going to put a screw through the
solder lug to electrically attach it to the airframe.

Works out to about two cents of material per wick. Google past issues of
Kitplanes; I wrote this up the better part of fifteen years ago or so.

Jim,

Question: Why do you need the resistor? Since you want to get rid of
charge, why not just a sharp piece of wire?
