I found the following post on a forum in the UK at'm looking for suggestions for a material that can be used for thenon-skid effect.

Crikey it really grips, immovable infact yet you can just pick it up and move it. It costs =A31.50 a metreand obviously you can make your guides to suit whatever without anymassive outlay.=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3DI found this stuff on the net, but there's no telling how tough it is.

used a ~100-120 grit wet/dry sandpaper rubber cemented to on and pared to shape. I would think that 1/8" foam might tend to compress unevenly under load and through it off the square.
