[Elecraft] Quarter inch sticky pads don't stick

[John [K7SVV]]

When I built my second K2, I had the same experience as Tom.  The adhesive 
came off when I peeled off the paper.  Scott sent me a couple more pads but 
they behaved the same way so I put a drop of rubber cement on them and glued 
them on.
