Let us know how it goes. The xDevs guide says to use flat PCB style 0805 resistors...
Makes me think though, probably the most easiest and safest approach would be to buy 3 of those PCB styles resistors, glue them on top of the sense capacitors, and then paint the ends up with conductive paint.
So I reckon:
1. Get 3 0805 10 ohm resistors off ebay (min order is 10, but probably handy):
SMD SMT 0603 0805 1206 Chip Resistor 10R 1M OHM Range | eBay
2. Glue those on top of the 3 capacitors mentioned in that xDec guide:
using some flexible, ultimately removable general purpose glue, kinda like:
Mxbon Multipurpose Glue 50ml | Maplin
3. Then paint the ends up with some purpose made silver conductive paint:
Electrically Conductive Silver Paint | Maplin
Job done!
No soldering required. Easily removed, and depending on choice of glue, nothing left behind.
Anyone can do that.
