I'm about to make a ski vice. Skis aren't easy to get a grip on while still giving unobstructed access to the edges and base. A common method is to place the skis on blocks topped with some sort of rubber matting that's incredibly tacky. You just invert the ski and put the upper (glossy) surface of the ski on the tacky rubber and it stays put as if by magic.
Any suggestions as to what this ultra-tacky rubber matting is called and where I can get it? I've tried some of that rubber mesh intended for use on car dashboards (similar to the stuff used to stop rugs slipping on polished floors) and it didn't work anywhere near as well as the "real" stuff.
