Octopus Overlords

Got a bit of a weird problem.

I have a keyboard tray as the table I've appropriated is a regular table, not a "desk". I bought a retractable keyboard tray. And it's VERY wide. That's great.

Except for one thing: somehow the right clamp kept coming loose, despite the rubber anti-slip padding. Somehow, the glue is slipping between the metal and the rubber padding. WEIRD?!

If it slips one more time, I'll put some super glue on it.

I've had that problem with a few things. For me, the solution was to forget about the built in anti-slip rubber and replace it with a piece of the woven rubber anti-slip mats you see for sale as shelf liners. It has the advantage of being able to wrap around the surface and engage both sides of the clamp.
