[Fists] Stop that Sliding bug for Cheap

Sat, 23 Nov 2002 02:29:14 -0500

Finally someone spoke up! Tnx, John!  I have been using up a couple of
tan-colored rolls of this thin, bubbly, non-skid stuff for several years.
All the keys are lined up on a short length of it, and the laptop will not
slide off the desk tray with that underneath it. Keeps the equipment from
shifting on the double-deck shelf on the operating table too. Same price
here, plus sales tax. Just totally reworked the shack and will be selling
much of it, and I now need one more roll. Great material. In most stores,
with the shelf liner rolls... Try your grocer or local hardware. :-)

I saw a similar product for about the same price at the Ft. Wayne (IN)
hanfest.
Then last week, while at the store, I picked up a whole ROLL of the very
same stuff (12"X5') for 88 Cents!

It's called "Griprite Non-Slip Liner" and it works. Same stuff the RV folks
have been using for years.

Hello FISTS:
I would like to tell you about a product that I had seen in QST, it is
called Sticky Pad. You place this under your key and it will stop the
migration that
goes on each time you use it.

It measures around 4" X 7" and it just sticks to your desk top and you place
the key on it and VIOLA.

According to the manufacturer it does not contain any adhesive and it is
washable and reusable. It is sold mainly for use in cars to place your
glasses or cell phone on it and keep it in one place.

I was able to locate mine at Radio Shack Model # 13890 for $4.99 plus tax it
is also supposed to be carried by Staples and Walmart.
