I recently purchased TrueGrips non-slip adhesive rings from a local quilt shop. They are made by The Grace Company.
www.graceframe.com. They are clear and a little larger than a dime. There is a very small circle cut in the center making it so that there are 15 small ones and 15 large ones in the package. I have not used them yet but thought I would pass along the information. I did see a demo at the quilt shop. They seem to work well.

It is a thick tape, about 1/16” thick, seems like a clear rubber product, 1” wide and comes on a roll of maybe a yard or so. Does anyone know the name of it, or where I can purchase more?

I don't think vendors will sell medical tape at a quilt show. I have never seen one that sold items other then name brand quilt products.

I have tried it all. I like the medical tape the best.

For me, sometimes I want the slide and sometimes I want the grip and I don't want two of the same sized rulers, so I'm thinking rubber cement may be the way to go.
Iceblossom - It is a great and cheap solution. I have some Invisagrip but I have used the Rubber Cement for years - but it is not easily available outside the US so I am told.
