Perhaps use those stick-on-the-bottom-of-things things? Found with felt and cork used to protect table tops. Have seen white and brown and pretty sure clear. (Come in round buttons or squares.)

they are great for all kinds of odd stuff if you can get by with a color other than clear they have silicone rods 36' long for less than 10 bucks you could cut all the dots you wanted !

many times if you juts need 1 or 2 of something they will just send it to you free as a "sample"
