Adhesion of "grippy non-slip matting"?

[Zak]

I used some non-slip mesh matting on a melamine surface and also on a clear plastic surface.

After a few months the matting had marked both these surfaces and the marking was extremely difficult to remove.

Is some matting available in the retail shops made of a different (and less marking) compound. Or is almost all of these non-slip mattings made of the same compound?

Car mats are good for this. Cut the mat to the size you need. I've found that they are good for non-slip and don't mark the surface at all.
