Howdy Larry:

A while back I bought a roll of stuff used to line your kitchen drawers and 
shelves....it is called "Contact" and looks like a cloth embroidery but is 
made of some kind of material that is absolutely non-skid.

I use it to keep my smaller QRP rigs from scratching the tops of my larger 
QRP rigs....it can also be used underneath a small paddle to keep the paddle 
in place.

It is great stuff and doesn't cost much....you can easily cut it with 
scissors to size.

Believe I got it from Ace hardware but it should be in any store like Lowes, 
Home Depot, etc.

Give it a try.....you'll probably discover more uses for it in your shack.
