Friction and Trackballs

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but here goes...

What have people found to be good for 'gripping' the trackball? Non-slip matting for drawers slides right off, and rubber wheels slip a bit, too. The tread from the InnovationFirst traction wheels grips ok, but not great...

Ideally, we'd like to pick up the ball and hold it rather firmly -- so does anyone have any suggestions as to materials that will 'stick' to the polycanvas cover?

Thanks!

Patrick
