This touch switch ON OFF circuit is based on known timer IC 555 , which actuates a relay which acts as a switch. Metal surfaces may be the way we want, but it must be clean and close the circuit.

Tap plate MP1 in order to close the relay contact RL1 [ON] or MP2 board to open the contact RL1 [OFF]. The D2 LED lights when the contacts of RL1 closed. Two small pieces of metal can be used as sensor plates.
